Slow Cooker Macadamia Brownie Cake Food

SLOW COOKER BROWNIES

Steps:

• First, use aluminum foil to make a "collar" to go inside your 6-quart slow cooker - this will keep the edges of your brownies from getting burned while the middle finishes baking. There is no perfect way to do this - just use a few sheets of foil, folded several times, and line the inside of your slow cooker. (See picture in post).
• Once you have the inside lined with a ring of foil, spray the whole inside with nonstick spray. Place a sheet of parchment paper in the bottom, inside the foil collar. (See picture)
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Place butter and chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Add sugar; stir to combine. Stir in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
• Add flour mixture and chocolate chips and stir just until combined (do not overmix). Transfer batter to slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on low for 3 hours. Uncover, turn the slow cooker off and allow to cool in the slow cooker for 1 hour. Remove (by lifting the parchment out) and allow to set completely before cutting into bars and serving.

CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to moderate.
• Grease a deep 19cm-square cake pan, and cover the base with baking paper.
• Combine the butter and chocolate in a pan and stir over a low heat until both have melted.
• Remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the sugar and honey.
• Stir in the lightly beaten eggs.
• Sift the flour.
• Add the sifted flour and the nuts and gently fold into the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
• Bake in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes - or until the brownies are firm.
• Cool the brownies in the pan, and cut into squares when cold.

SLOW COOKER GOOEY BROWNIE CAKE

Steps:

• Line the insert of a 4- or 6-quart slow cooker with a large piece of foil, then generously butter the foil.
• Whisk together the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, flour, eggs, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Scrape the batter out into the prepared insert in an even layer. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours; the cake should be set around the edges and gooey in the center.
• Serve the cake warm, scooped into a bowl and topped with ice cream.

CHOCOLATE, CRANBERRY & MACADAMIA BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas 4 and line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin with baking parchment. Melt the dark chocolate with the butter in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl over just simmering water.
• Mix together the sugar, flour and cocoa powder and stir in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, followed by the eggs. Stir through the dried cranberries and macadamia nuts, then swirl through the cranberry sauce.
• Pour into the tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 25 - 30 mins. Allow to cool before slicing.

BROOKIES

Steps:

• Butter a 23cm square cake tin and line with baking parchment. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. First, make the cookie layer. Put the butter and both sugars in a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until just combined. Alternatively, do this in a stand mixer. Add the whole egg and egg yolk, and beat again until combined. Mix in the flour, ¼ tsp salt, the bicarbonate of soda and chocolate chunks. Press the cookie dough into the base of the prepared tin using the back of a spoon, then chill for 30 mins.
• For the brownie layer, melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water, stirring until smooth and combined. Leave to cool slightly, about 10 mins. Whisk the eggs, vanilla and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric whisk until slightly thickened, about 3 mins. Fold the cooled chocolate and butter mixture through the beaten eggs with a large spoon until well combined.
• Fold the buttery chocolate mixture, cocoa and flour together to combine. Spoon the brownie mixture over the cookie dough layer, dot with the chocolate chunks, and sprinkle with sea salt flakes, if you like. Bake in the centre of the oven for 50 mins-1 hr, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with just a few crumbs clinging to it. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares.

• In medium bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, cocoa and salt. In separate bowl, stir oil, vanilla, egg whites and eggs with whisk. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir until blended. Stir in melted chocolate. Stir in walnuts.
• Spray 3 1/2-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Pour batter into slow cooker.
