DescriptionThe perfect ending to a romantic dinner or other special occasion and since this is cooked in a slow cooker - you can relax and enjoy your evening. This could work in a dutch oven a well. I haven't tried it yet so if you do let me know how it works.
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa (Mexican if you can find it)
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted
2 teaspoons hazelnut flavored instant coffee
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground fresh nutmeg
a pinch of dried clove
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Methods/steps
Stir together all ingredients except ice cream in a large bowl. Pour into a lightly greased 3-quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until set around the edges but still soft in the center. Let stand, covered, 30 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.
Additional Tips
Add a sophisticated touch by drizzling Kahlua or Frangelico over the cake.
