                                                1/4 cup vegetable oil  |  
                                                1/2 cup dark brown sugar  |  
                                                1 cup boiling water or 1 cup coffee  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Spray a 1 1/2 quart souffle dish with oil and set aside. 2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of the cocoa in a mixing bowl. Add the milk, vanilla, and oil, and mix into a stiff batter. Scrape into the prepared dish and smooth the top. 3. Mix the brown sugar, the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa in a small bowl; sprinkle in an even layer over the top of the batter. Pour the boiling water or coffee over all. 4. Set the dish inside a 6 quart slow cooker and cover the top of the slow cooker with a folded kitchen towel, and then with the cooker lid. Cook on high for 2 1/2 hours, or until the top of the cake is set and the bottom is still syrupy. 5. Cut into wedges or spoon onto plates, using the syrup on the bottom as a sauce.                              |
