Slow Cooker Carrot Cake

Method

Step by step

1. 01

   In a bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, spices, ginger and salt.  Stir with a whisk to mix well.

2. 02

   In another bowl combine vegetable oil, eggs, pineapple, raisins, nuts and carrot. Stir with a whisk to mix well.

3. 03

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix by hand until everything is well mixed.

4. 04

   Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray for baking (or butter and flour).

5. 05

   Pour cake batter into prepared pan and place in the bottom of a 7 quart slow cooker.

6. 06

   Cover the top of the slow cooker with 4 paper towels or a thin kitchen towel, making sure the towel is not touching the cake in the crock pot. (This will prevent condensation from dripping on the cake.)

7. 07

   Cover with the lid and crock on HIGH for 3-4 hours.  (A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean.)

8. 08

   Remove the cake pan from the slow cooker and cool cake in the pan on a wire cooling rack for 5 minutes.

9. 09

   Invert cake out of the pan onto the cooling rack and let it cool completely before frosting.
