Ingredients

For the sauce

Method

  • STEP 1

    Butter the base and sides of the bowl of a slow cooker. Beat the butter and both sugars together in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or using an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, then fold in the flour, cocoa, baking powder, espresso, a pinch of salt and the chocolate. Add just enough milk so the batter falls off the spatula in big dollops. Spoon into the prepared slow cooker.

  • STEP 2

    Mix the sauce ingredients together in a heatproof bowl with 300ml boiling water, then carefully pour this over the batter in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hrs or high for 3 hrs until the cake springs back when pressed, and is well-risen. Serve with crème fraîche, whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
