Has anyone ever baked a cake in the slow cooker?

Posted: Dec 11, 2015

Our oven is broke and I don't have a toaster oven. The only thing I have is a slow cooker, foreman grill and waffle maker (the latter two of course will not work). LOL

I am so craving some chocolate cake and I just found a recipe for mocha oatmeal cake, or brownies, cobbler or whatever.

I've made cornbread in the slow cooker and it came out really good, but what about regular cakes? Has anyone ever done one and if so do you know how long you would cook it for. There are tons of things on the internet but I'm not finding anything for a cake and wondered if anyone here has firsthand experience and if it works.

Thanks.

Every now and then I get a bunch of recipes for slow cooked everything in my spam folder. I wish I could think of the name. But anyway, it is amazing the things that can be cooked in a slow cooker, including cakes, bread, and pies. If you do decide to bake a cake in your slow cooker, please let us know how it turned out.

I just hope it does not take too long to bake your cake.

Thanks - your post gave me some ideas - Baker Bee

I did some more searching and found some slow cooker cake recipes. One is for a chocolate cake. Now I'm searching around for a frosting that is I think made of whipped cream. Had this amazing frosting on a cake at our Christmas party. Was so light and airy. Unsure if it was whipped cream or what.

I guess if it takes so long to wait for the cake to bake I could always make a microwave mug cake to eat while waiting. LOL

Not precisely OT, but I do mug cakes because I'm - the only one not on a diet.

Innocently, one day after the DH and DD had gone berserk on one or another of the popular diets, I made a regular German chocolate cake, which they discovered as unerringly as a laser-guided smart bomb finds its target.

From their cake-stuffed, frosting-smeared faces came muffled curses which, if I understood them correctly, involved a rabid cat - or it may have been rat - becoming entangled in my bra. While I was wearing it.

Since then, I've made cake for one and I only have to suffer malevolent growls mingled with the crunching of carrot sticks.

I found a recipe I'm going to post below, but I have a question on substuting something for something else. It's Braised chicken with potatoes. Looks yummy. The recipe calls for frozen artichoke hearts (which I love artichokes), but as I was looking at it thought cabbage would taste good with it instead. But it slow cooks for 2 hours. Do you think that cabbage would go mushy? I have not used my slow cooker in probably 5 years now, but I want to start ...

Here's the deal. I'm a part-time Mr. Mom. My wife and I both work and we split the household chores down the middle even-steven. Cooking, cleaning, whatever.

So, the way our schedule works out, I'm off work earlier and cook dinner most of the time. Nothing fazes me except FISH, and my wife doesn't do it any better, but we bot ...

I was watching a cooking program on publlic TV and found out how to make the Perfect baked potato. I tried it, and it IS perfect. All you do is preheat the oven for as high as it goes - I use 540. Wash the potato and cook it for 1 hour. Do not prick, oil, or wrap in foil! The skin is crunchy, and the middle soft and creamy. Great if you want to scoop out the middle for twice-baked recipes, but I like it with browned melted butter, salt, and pepper. ...

I really need something, anything to put on salmon where I can eat it. I am not a fish person and only eating it because of the health benefits and tonight I once again choked down a large piece and it is not what I like.

The share of total income going to the top 1 percent of earners, which stood at 8.9 percent in 1976, rose to 23.5 percent by 2007, but during the same period, the average inflation-adjusted hourly wage declined by more than 7 percent. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/business/17view.html?_r=1&hpw How are you doing?

So, when a Romney fundraiser costs $40,000 per person it's an outrage but when Obama has a $40,000 per person fundraiser it's okay. It sure feels good to get that clarified.

Yeah, because cares just that much... Obama using food stamp cash to fund Michelle's Let's Move program.

In the Chicago Area some bakeries made an atomic cake. It had various fillers of your choice including fudge, banana, strawberry, vanilla custard, etc. My family always had one of these cakes if there was a birthday. Here in Florida no bakeries make an atomic cake. I really miss it! Of course, while I'm thinking about it there is no other than a Chicago Pizza in Florida. Pizza Hutt just doesn't cut it. ...

I am from Chicago and we used to be able to get atomic cakes. They were filled with different kinds of fillings of your choice; i.e., fudge, banana, strawberry, custard, etc. However, I now live in Florida (St. Petersburg area) and can't find any bakeries that makes these. Anyone else hear of an atomic cake? ...

So intead she would like to have a receving line at the reception where the guests line up and the bride and groom pass out the cake and then thank people for coming. I am totally against this but she said that is the way it is these days. She has only been to two weddings in her life. I have not been ...

Tried a new whiskey fruitcake recipe, made a slight error by adding 2 cups of dried fruit instead of 1, so the cake came out really dry. Found a suggestion to poke holes in it with a skewer and pour whiskey over the cake so it would go into the cake; do this every day for a week. The texture is now good, but the taste--whoooo, baby! Even with whipped cream it is too strong. Would it be possible use the same hole-poking technique using a sweet fruit juice or something? Would hate to toss it now. ...

When I was a child, mom had this iron-thing that you would dip into a sweet pancake type batter and put it in hot grease. Once done, off would come the crispy thing in different shapes-butterflies, etc. Then she would dip them in confectioner's sugar. Does anyone know what this is called and can you still buy them? I know, I was so technical in my description LOL. ...

Okay, just made a lemon bread. It is moist but not as lemony as I would like. Safeway makes a good lemony cake (or bread) thing. So moist and lemony and I'd like to make something similar. This recipe I just made called for 3/4 c. lemon yogurt and 1 tablepoon lemon rind. It is moist but not a real lemon flavor (faint lemon flavor). I tried another recipe using a lemon cake and added a box of lemon pudding. Again, most but not real lemony. ...

I just made the most scrumptious blueberry sour cream coffee cake. It was so moist and sweet, but not too sweet. DH told me it tasted like something we used to get in Germany. So I wanted to pass on the recipe if anyone is interested. I can't wait til later to have another piece. The recipe said to use a mixer, but I creamed the butter and sugar with a fork (my mixer is packed away), then I used a wire whisk to mix the rest. I also used a bundt pan, but am sure it could be made in ano ...

When she later released the letter publicly, the boy’s last name was blacked out. The only identifying clue was that everyone ...
