Rich Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Cake

by 57 Comments

Looking for a rich fudgy cake with peanut butter that bakes its very own chocolate sauce? Because, I have the cake for you! This cake is incredible! And made in a slow cooker. And is super easy. And it tastes incredible! (oh, I think I already mentioned that!)

And yes, I did take a spoonful out to taste as soon as it was done. I couldn’t wait any longer for it to cool after smelling chocolate and peanut butter for the last hour!

I made this in a 1 1/2 quart crock pot, because this kind of thing is dangerous for me. You see, my husband does not like rich chocolate. . .I know, how is that even possible?! So, when I make something such as this rich chocolate cake. . .I end up eating most of it. Not that I mind, I just probably shouldn’t make this regularly. Because it would be easy for me to eat it all, all of the time! The recipes below is double that for a 3 1/2 – 4 quart slow cooker so that you can share it! 🙂

While it may not seem like it’s the prettiest cake you have ever made, your first bite will make you forget about looks. This cake bakes up to an almost brownie like top with peanut butter swirled throughout and sits atop a thick chocolate sauce.

Oh, and put a scoop of your favorite frozen yogurt or ice cream on the side and you will be in chocolate bliss!! That is how good it is. Seriously.

Rich Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Cake – Slow Cooker Style
Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Cake
  • 1 C all-purpose flour or half whole wheat pastry half all-purpose
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar substitute
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 1/2 tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/2 C non-fat milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 C peanut butter chips
  • 1/3 C white chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • For the Sauce
  • 1/4 C granulated sugar substitute
  • 1/2 C sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1 1/2 C boiling water
Directions
  1. Spray the inside of a 3 1/2 – 4 quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together flour, sugar substitute, sugar, baking powder, and baking cocoa. Add in the oil, milk, and vanilla. Stir until just combined. Stir in the peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Batter will seem thicker than a normal cake batter.
  3. Spread batter evenly into bottom of slow cooker. Melt peanut butter. Drizzle melted peanut butter over the top of the batter and gently swirl in with a knife.
  4. In another bowl, stir together sugar substitute, sugar, baking cocoa, and boiling water. Slowly stir until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour hot water mixture over the top of the batter.
  5. Cover and cook on high for 2 -2 1/2 hours or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove crock from slow cooker, if possible, and cool uncovered on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  6. Spoon dessert into bowls and serve with your favorite frozen yogurt or ice cream. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

  17. This looks amazing!! love the slow cooker cake idea! (My slow cooker and I are close friends… never tried a dessert though!)
    – Did you just melt the peanut butter chips alone? or stir in with milk or something? would it work with just some heated up smooth peanut butter?

    • The peanut butter chips actually get stirred in with the white chocolate chips. The creamy peanut butter gets melted and drizzled on top. You should definitely give it a try! It’s super easy and tastes amazing!

  20. Oh, yeah. This wouldn’t be safe to have in my house! I am going to have to try it-and then try other flavors…(raspberry games to mind)

    • Ok, I tried it. I used mocha flavored stevia for the sugar substitute, and dark chocolate chips for the peanut butter chips. I swirled in Melba sauce (red and black raspberries) and ‘sauced’ it with melted dark chocolate. It was really good, not too sweet, but the raspberry was lost in all the chocolatey goodness. Poured some raspberry puree I happened to have on hand over the brownie and the ice cream… Amazing! I think the peanut butter still stands a better chance of competing with the chocolate, though.

  23. A delicious sounding cake and it goes in the crock pot? This is something I don’t really need to have on hand but I love it. I would certainly top it with a scoop of ice cream just like you!

  24. Wow, that looks amazing! We don’t have slow cookers in Germany, so I bought one off of Ebay that someone had imported from the UK. And then I poured hot water into it and it broke. Boo! I wish I still had it so I could make this. 🙂
