A classic chocolate cake 'baked' without the use of a tin or the oven. Amazing!

Ingredients

Melted butter, to grease, plus extra 60g, melted

1 cup self-raising flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder

¾ cup caster sugar

125ml milk

2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

Double cream, to serve

Fresh berries, to serve

Chocolate topping, to serve

Method

  1. Grease the bowl of a 5L slow cooker appliance, and line with a large sheet of baking paper to cover the base and 3cm up the sides.

  2. Sift flour and cocoa into a large bowl, then stir in sugar. Make a well in the centre and pour in milk, eggs, vanilla and extra melted butter. Use a whisk to beat until a smooth batter forms. Pour into prepared bowl.

  3. Place bowl in appliance. Cover with lid and cook on HIGH setting for 2 hours.

  4. Remove bowl from appliance, remove lid. Remove cake from the bowl. Set aside to cool for 30 minutes.
