This pleasantly warm and delicious no-bake malt chocolate pudding cake couldn’t get any more simple in the making!
Can you believe this is the first time I’ve made anything with a slow cooker?! Yes, you’ve read that right! I have finally brought to you, URBAN BAKES’ first slow cooker recipe!
I swear, sometimes I feel as if I’ve been living under a rock when it comes to small kitchen appliances and I say this because I was raised simple. Microwave, toaster and…. I think that’s it. None of this fancy schmancy tools they have now for deep frying, or for creating waffles, or homemade ice cream. And don’t get me wrong; I’m not complaining. I love this thing! The slow cooker is one heck of a genius piece of equipment.
Great for Summer months as I now live in the desert (which means my “East coast summer” started back in the beginning of March!). It’s a no brainer here to utilize this as much as possible during this time of the year. So expect to see more slow cooker recipes coming 🙂
But to not go off on a tangent of how impressed I am about the endless creations with now owning a slow cooker [huge smile], I want to focus back on this delicious cake! After all, I’m pretty sure that’s why you’re here.
Inspired by the delicately warm Chocolate Fudge Cake, the inclusion of malt is a simple yet innovative way of giving depth to the traditional chocolate flavor. In addition, the process of cooking a sponge cake rather than baking one has been a goal of mine since the first time it was seen at this food conference. (Now I check this off my cooking bucket list)
