Method
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture whitens.
- Gently fold the chocolate into the eggs, add the flour and mix well until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Place a few sheets of absorbent paper at the bottom of the stoneware of your slow cooker to isolate the mixture and soak up the excess humidity.
- Cook in the slow cooker for 1 1/2 to 2 hours - start on High. After 10 minutes, reduce heat to Low.
Tips for making slow cooked chocolate cake:
If you don’t have a bain marie, simply place the chocolate in a glass or heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water and allow it to melt.
