Cakes You Can Make In A Slow Cooker

When it comes to making a cake in a slow cooker, you often need to construct a homemade rack that prevents the cake pan from sitting directly on the bottom of the insert, but trust us when we tell you that this is much easier than it sounds—all you need is some aluminum foil. (Pro-tip: This aluminum foil structure also works if you need to make a homemade steamer basket for your slow cooker.) Another trick that helps yield perfectly baked slow-cooker cakes involves placing a taught towel underneath the slow cooker lid. This helps absorb any droplets of condensation created by the steam, and is an easy way to safeguard the top of your cake so it’s picture-perfect. Now that you’re armed with some helpful slow-cooker cake hacks, let’s get to the sweets!
