Preparation

Step 1

Spray a 2-3 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
In a bowl, sift together flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
Then stir in milk, oil and vanilla extract.
Give it all a good stir until combined, then fold in nuts (if using).
Spread batter evenly into your slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar and remaining cocoa powder.
Stir in hot water until smooth.
Pour evenly over batter in slow cooker.
DO NOT STIR.
Cover and cook on high setting for 2-2 1/2 hours
To test if it is done, stick a toothpick into the center.
If it comes out clean (with no cake batter hanging on it), then it is done.
Let cake stand, uncovered for 30-40 minutes before serving.
