Vegan Chocolate Pudding Cake (Crock Pot)

"Originally a Betty Crocker recipe - I veganized it and baked it in the Crockpot (2-3 quart capacity). Reminds me of the chocolate pudding cakes my mom used to make when I was little. A great comfort food dessert, especially for chilly wet nights!"

Questions & Replies

  1. What size of crock pot are you using? I was wondering if I have to double or triple the recipe to fit a 5 liter oval crock pot

  1. So good! I was out of brown sugar so I substituted white sugar, and mixed 1/2 tsp molasses in with the hot water, and used vanilla almond milk in place of soy, and it was delicious!!
     
  2. This is delicious... (Yes, I'm eating it right now..) This was my first attempt at making anything Vegan... This was a great way to get some confidence and a good start.. Love the recipe... I wouldn't know it was vegan if I ate it randomly. KUDOS.
     
  3. AMAZING!!! First thing I made in my new crock and it was so good and so easy!! Thank you!!
     
  4. I am dissapointed in how this turned out. I followed the recipe exactly and the only difference is I used 1/3 cup sugar instead of 1/2. The cake came out without ANY sauce. The cake itself has some moistness but lacking in flavor I suppose its because I cut down on the sugar. No sauce ruins it.
     
  5. Easier then an easy bake oven; moist and delicious! I have made this as a last minute desert (throw the ingredients in, and let cook while you prepare the rest of your meal) comes out perfect with little effort every time. I am not much of a "cake" person, but I have to steal a bite of this chocolaty goodness every time.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a university student in British Columbia. I've been a vegetarian for almost three years, and a vegan for two. I make an effort to purchase only organic foods but sometimes find that hard on a student budget! I mostly enjoy baking but have branched out into cooking a bit in the past couple of years. I LOVE Indian food but haven't cooked a lot of it myself yet.
