Crockpot Cake Baking

Bet you didn’t think you could bake in your crockpot, did you?

I always used to think that too. For me, slow cooker cooking meant stews and soups and the like. However, my sister uses her crockpot for a lot of things you would never think of doing in there. And yes, she bakes in it. Makes a super banana bread in there. I have to admit that if you want a nice, moist cake, a crockpot coffee cake is perfect. I’ve done my sister’s banana bread and even made lemon bars in mine.

This crockpot coffee cake is another perfect cake to make in your slow cooker. Let it cool a bit and slice it like a cake. It can also be served in a bowl warm as a dessert!

Doctoring The Cake Mix

I discovered years ago that the secret to getting a mix to taste almost homemade was using evaporated milk as the liquid. There’s also some sour cream and spice, but those are minor additions.

You may like to substitute another flavor cake mix for the yellow. I used a “butter recipe” mix and it worked out fine. Spice cake mix would probably work too.

This could probably be done with chocolate cake mix and cherry pie filling for a Black Forest type of cake. If you try that, let me know how it came out since I have not done that–yet.

Crockpot Size

This recipe calls for a rather small-size crockpot–4Q/4L. I’m pretty sure this size isn’t that popular anymore. Most of my friends have 6-7 quart models. I’m sure it can be made in a large one, but it will bake in far less time. I would check on it in half the given time in the recipe. You’d probably be pretty safe with a standard 5Q/5L model without any real reduction in time.

The “toothpick” test works with slow cooker baking, so make sure to check it that way to be sure.
