How to Make Ooey Gooey Slow Cooked Mississippi Mud Pudding Recipe
I really love how simple this pudding cake is to make and the ease of being able to serve it with a dollop of marshmallow cream on top. The marshmallow cream melts and combines with the chocolate pudding sauce resulting in a dessert that's guaranteed to satisfy your chocolate craving.
- Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Mississippi Mud Pudding Cake: Self rising flour, sugar, cocoa powder, half and half, vegetable oil, chopped pecans or walnuts, vanilla extract and semi sweet chocolate chips. You'll also need hot water, espresso powder, dark brown sugar, more cocoa powder and marshmallow cream to drizzle on top before serving.
- This pudding cake forms it's own chocolate pudding sauce while it bakes in the slow cooker, hence the name. It's rich and decadent and can be served straight from the slow cooker.
- Paper towels placed over the opening of the slow cooker will absorb the condensation that forms while it's cooking and prevents it from dropping onto the cake while it's baking.
- As the marshmallow cream sits on top of the warm chocolate cake it softens and melts oozing down the sides.
- Don't expect this cake to cut like a sheet cake or a layer cake. It's meant to be gooey and spooning it into dessert bowls is the way to go.
- Jut before servings, sprinkle a few toasted pecans or walnuts nuts on top for crunch.
- You could also top this pudding cake with ice cream.
- Store leftover Mississippi Mud Pudding cake chilled for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave in single serving portions before serving.

I'm not sure I understand. Prior to baking the cake batter is thick. After baking, the cake rises to the top with the pudding or "liquid" forming underneath.

I am ready to prepare this recipe for supper tonite; however my cake batter seems MUCH drier than what's pictured. Should I add a bit more liquid?
