Chocolate cake in a slow cooker

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a delicious chocolate cake in a slow cooker? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take premium flour. Cocoa must also be of high quality. I usually use either Belgian cocoa or Golden Label. I can't say anything about other manufacturers. Large, selected eggs are needed. If the eggs are small, take 5 pieces. Vanillin can be replaced with 1 tbsp. l. vanilla sugar.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a saucepan, combine butter, sugar, milk and cocoa. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. But I can say that due to the large amount of cocoa, even with 320 g of sugar, the cake is not very sweet.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the saucepan over low heat and, stirring, heat the mixture until the sugar and butter are completely dissolved.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cool the finished mixture. To frost the finished cake, pour some of the chocolate mixture into a separate bowl. You need about 4-5 tbsp. l.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a deep bowl with a mixer, beat the eggs until fluffy.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs and mix with a mixer until smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Gradually add the flour sifted with vanilla, soda and salt and beat everything again. You may need more or less flour. Focus primarily on the consistency of the dough. You should get a semi-liquid homogeneous dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the dough into a buttered multicooker bowl.

9. STEP 9

   

   Set the multicooker to the “Baking” mode for 60-65 minutes. Do not open the lid during baking. Please note that depending on the brand and model of the multicooker, the baking time and temperature of the “Baking” mode may vary. Therefore, focus specifically on your device.

10. STEP 10

    

    After the beep, check the condition of the cake with a wooden skewer - it should come out dry. And if necessary, leave the cake to warm for another 10-15 minutes. But usually the cake has time to bake within an hour. Remove the finished cake from the bowl and leave to cool at room temperature.

11. STEP 11

    

    While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. Warm the remaining chocolate mixture over low heat until it returns to a pourable consistency. If you wish, you can add a little chocolate to the glaze and heat until it dissolves. If necessary, add a little milk or cream to achieve the desired consistency. The glaze should be fluid and of medium thickness.

12. STEP 12

    

    Transfer the cooled cake to a plate and pour chocolate glaze over it. And decorate with marshmallows if desired.

13. STEP 13

    

    Then cut into pieces and serve. The inside of the cake turns out to be slightly moist, quite dense and porous. The cake can also be cooked in the oven. Bake for about 50 minutes at 180°C. Bon appetit!
