This is one of my husband’s all-time favorite desserts. I don’t make it a lot (probably because the clean-up of the crock pot is such a chore), but it’s always well received when I do. In fact, if it’s been too long since I’ve made it, the family starts requesting it.
If you’ve never made a dessert in the crock pot before, this may look a little off to you at first. But trust me, the taste more than makes up for the lack of visual appeal. It’s rich, chocolaty and creamy. Add a scoop of ice cream on top and it’s all good!
Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Pudding Cake
- 1 c. flour
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 1 1/2 t. baking powder
- 2/3 c. milk
- 2 T. vegetable or canola oil
- 1 t. vanilla
- 1/2 c. peanut butter
- 1 c. sugar
- 6 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 c. boiling water
1. Combine the flour, 1/2 c. sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add milk, oil, vanilla and peanut butter. Stir until smooth. Pour into the bottom of a crock pot.
2. In the same mixing bowl, add the remaining 1 c. sugar and the cocoa powder. Slowly pour in the boiling water and stir to mix well. Pour over batter in the crock pot. DO NOT STIR! Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours.

Oh my goodness. I don’t care if the outcome looks “ugly”, I am all for chocolate and peanut butter. How could you go wrong with that? I have all those ingredients in the pantry!!! Will be making it this week! Thanks for linking to TMTT.
Oh man that could be dangerous but oh so worth it! Love the melting ice cream on top, too yummy!
Oh my word, that looks sooooo good! I will have to try that, even if it is messy. It looks well worth it!
That looks AMAZING! I am going to try it tonight!
That looks so yummy! My oldest turns 14 this week and that looks like a perfect dessert. Her brother turns 11 the next day so we’ll see if he requests it too! lol
i’ve never made a dessert in the crockpot, but i’m going to have to try this!
how many servings does it make typically? i’d love to serve it at our weekly community group we host!
I am so excited about this. I’ve got a Hot Fudge Pudding Cake recipe, but I’ve never tried it in the crockpot. How much better to add peanut butter! I’ll be making this the next time mom comes to visit!
This sounds amazing!!!! But warm, gooey chocolate, and peanut butter always do!
I bet you could line your crock with tin foil to save most of the mess
Oh it looks SO good!!!
That looks scarily good!
My favorite combo – chocolate and peanut butter! It sounds absolutely scrumptious!
Oh my granny! Chocolate and peanut butter are two of my favorite indulgences.

This sounds lovely, but does it matter what size crockpot you use?
sooooooooo goooooooood
thanks
This recipe has no eggs,right?
Looks terrific. Nice thing to have a recipe that uses no eggs.
Thanks!
I just printed this off and I might try making it this weekend. It would be a great casual company dessert!
What a great combo of yummy ingredients! Love it. And a crockpot is one of my best friends.
Man that looks good! How can you tell if it’s it done?
I just made this tonight and my husband and I really liked it. It is a moist peanut butter cake with the warm chocolate sauce on the bottom. My first dessert in a crock pot. I got out my older smaller crockpot, maybe 4 quart and it was perfect size. Sprayed the inside first so hopefully cleanup will be easy. Wondered about using a liner next time. The cake rises to the top and the sauce simmers on the bottom. I cooked it about 2 hrs, 15 minutes until a knife inserted in the cake part showed it was done. Then turned it off for about 30 minutes before we had some. Your chili recipe prompted me to make chili today as it is cold and raining in Texas–but my Texas chili recipe–we wouldn’t get near garbonzo beans in our chili–ha. Then made this crockpot cake. And leftovers for tomorrow! Thanks for this idea.
I made this for my family tonight, and it received a 10 out of 10 rating!! It was so yummy!! I shared a link to your recipe on my blog, because I wanted everyone to know how good it was.

I love slow cooker desserts and the chocolate and peanut butter combo. I am so making this.
That looks SOOOOOO good! Thanks for linking up!
Buildings are not cheap and not everyone can buy it. Nevertheless, mortgage loans are invented to aid people in such kind of hard situations.
I made this cake this weekend, only I had to tweak it a bit. I used unsweetened original Almond milk instead of milk and Ideal low calorie sweetener instead of sugar. It was soooo delicious! I will make it again sometime when we have company using sugar and regular milk. Thanks for sharing it with us!!!
I made it and I sprayed the crock with no stick spray and it wiped out without any problems at all.
I feel this write-up was stolen from one more source.

I have made this several times and absolutely love it!!! I’ve used unsweetened almond milk in mine because Hubby is lactose intolerant and so I rarely have real milk. But, about the third time I made it, my husband said that he didn’t like it because it was too sweet. Although, it is PERFECT for me, I made it using less sweetener. And still he said it was too sweet.
What he actually MEANT is that it has too much chocolate. He does not like chocolate. I can’t understand that. . . but now I just make it according to the directions (although sometimes I use Hersheys Special Dark Cocoa) and I get to eat the whole thing myself. MMMM
Great post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Kudos!
