Crockpot Chocolate Pudding Cake

nonstick cooking spray
1 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar (divided)
1/2 c. cocoa powder (divided)
1/2 c. soy milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. oil
1/2 c. dark brown sugar
1 c. boiling water or coffee

Spray inside of crockpot. (If you have a crockpot liner, that would probably be great, though I never use one.)
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, 3/4 c. of the sugar and 1/4 c. of the cocoa in a mixing bowl. Add soymilk, vanilla and oil and mix. Batter will be stiff. Pour into crockpot and smooth out the top.
Mix brown sugar, remaining 1/4 c. sugar and remaining 1/4 c. cocoa in small bowl. Sprinkle in even layer over cake batter. Pour boiling water/coffee over all.
Cover and cook on high for 2ish hours on high, or 4ish hours on low. Top of cake will be set, but bottom will be syrupy.
Serve in bowls, spooning the syrup on bottom over cake like a sauce.

Approx. 6ish servings (though DH and I can totally eat the whole thing ourselves over the course of 24 hours...)

Can you fry? I have a good recipe for battered fried shnitzel in a great sauce. Although the sauce needs to be cooked also, so it might be to much of a 'patchka' if you are looking for easy...

Burner:
skirt steak salad
baby red potatoes
green beans

corned beef
mashed potatoes
sauteed zucchini

One pot meal on the burner:
chicken curry
one pot pasta and meat dish

You can also cook and freeze/refrigerate now, so that all you have to do on YT is reheat?

Crockpot:
herb roaster chicken and baby red potatoes
meatballs (bring already cooked spaghetti)

I would recommend taking a hot plate, if you can, with a timer. Prepare your meals in advance and just rewarm on yom Tov. I think it gets too messy & complicated to cook in a hotel room on yom Tov.
