Slow cooker pumpkin and chocolate cake, healthy, easy and flavourful.
I fell in love with red kuri pumpkin this fall so I had to try different recipes with it. It is so sweet and delicate that I thought making a cake was a good idea. I could be happier with the result, this slow cooker pumpkin and chocolate cake is so rich in flavour, a little bit spiced and has 0 sugar. The pumpkin is so sweet you do not need to add any sugar (no sugar no dates).
Also, it is possible to make delicious and moist cakes on the slow cooker so if you never tried, this is a great and easy recipe to start.
If you want more slow cooker recipes, here are some of my favourites.
Enjoy it!
