So it is Good Friday and I am bringing you …..more chocolate! Well it can’t be avoided, this is the time of year for it after all. 🙂
This slow cooker chocolate and mint aero bubble cake is a cake with a difference as it is made in my slow cooker (3.5 litre oval slow cooker).
I decided to make a slow cooker chocolate and Mint Aero Bubble cake quite simply because I wanted to see the Aero Bubbles in a cake!
I have seen Maltesers and similar being used in traybakes (do make the Malteser traybake, it is delicious!) but I wanted these to go in a cake, not a no-bake or brownies. I thought the cake would look great when sliced as you would see the green circles against the dark brown chocolate cake, as well as the bubbly texture of the bubbles against the velvety cake. Well that was the idea anyway!
I saw in the traybake etc recipes that sometimes they froze the Maltesers or Aero bubbles overnight so they didn’t melt when baking. I didn’t have the patience for that so just went for it. Sometimes you just want cake then and there, am I right.
Ready to start baking! The base is lined with baking paper. I would line the sides of the pot too to make it easier to get out!
This is what it looked like after 45 mins. The edges are becoming firm and the Aero bubbles are melting! Just look at that rich chocolate colour, mmmmm.
Another hour later, after adding more Aero Bubbles in the centre. The cake is starting to firm up.
Finished, after two and a quarter hours. Yummy, rich and fudgy chocolate cake topped with minty chocolate!

Fab! Thanks Liberty
Rhian Hughes says
Hey is this 411 cal per slice or for the whole cake?
bakingqueen74 says
Hi Rhian. That would be per slice based on 8 servings from the recipe (200 g sugar in the recipe alone has 800 calories I’m afraid).
