Mocha Pudding Cake

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

Siir together all ingredients in a large bowl. Pour into lightly greased 3-quart slow cooker.

Cover & cook on LOW 2 to 2 1/2 hours (until set around edges but still soft in the center). Let stand, covered, 30 minutes.

Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.

For a straight chocolate pudding cake, omit cinnamon and coffee granules.
