  • Cook Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
  • Servings: 8
  • Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • For the Ganache:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Stir in the cooled coffee and sour cream.
  4. Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
  6. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just about to boil. Pour over the chocolate chips and stir until smooth and glossy.
  8. Once the cake is done, let it cool in the slow cooker for about 15 minutes. Drizzle the ganache over the cake and scatter a few coffee beans on top for decoration.

Helpful Tips

  • To ensure the cake is extra moist, do not lift the lid of the slow cooker during cooking.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt if preferred.

Storage Instructions

Store the leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
