Happy Mother's Day!! here's a recipe...

** Happy Mother's Day, Mommas. I hope you all had a beautiful day with the people you love the most. **

The four of us spent the afternoon over at my Sister-in-law's house, with her, her husband and three boys and my MIL and FIL. It was a really nice time and I made a YUMMY, EASY dessert. Want the recipe?? Here ya gooo...

Crockpot Peanut Butter Cup Cake - serves 8
you'll need:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar, divided in half
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup boiling water


Coat your crock pot with a good amount of non-stick cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. In the microwave, melt peanut butter for about 30 seconds, and then add to the mix along with milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir really well to combine. Spread this mixture into the bottom of your crock pot.

In a separate bowl, mix together cocoa powder, the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 cup boiling water. Pour this evenly over the peanut butter batter in your cooker.

Cover and cook on high for 2-4 hours, or until the top has set and an inserted toothpick (into the cake--underneath the cake is molten chocolate mmmm...) comes out clean. Let the cake sit uncovered in an unplugged crockpot for about 20 minutes, then serve warm in dessert bowls with some vanilla ice cream. It looks a little funky but don't be turned off by it, I promise...it's yummy :)
