The easiest dessert ever

This dessert is fool proof. Easy and delicious and perfect for the busy world we live in!
First you'll need a slow cooker. In the slow cooker, throw in a 1/2 cup of all purpose flour with a 1/4 cup of sugar and a teaspoon of baking powder. Mix that together to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Stir in 1/3 of a cup milk and a tablespoon of vegetable oil. When this looks well-mixed, add 1/4 cup of smooth natural peanut butter. (Make sure you use natural, otherwise the dessert will be way too sweet!) Mix the batter together and smooth it out in the slow cooker so that it cooks evenly.

Now, in a small saucepan over high heat, boil a cup of water with 4 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/2 a cup of sugar. When the cocoa and sugar has dissolved, SLOWLY pour this over the peanut butter batter and cover the slow cooker. Really. That's it. Don't stir the boiling chocolate with the batter. It's going to do what it needs to do without your help.

Cook on high for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The cake is going to be light and fluffy and the pudding will be thick and rich. Spoon it into a bowl and serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You’ll be in heaven!
