I’m back with yet another pumpkin recipe! You’re not sick of them yet right? I sure hope not 🙂  I am SO excited to share this recipe with you because it is an absolute lifesaver for the holidays! A couple weeks back I shared my Slow Cooker Sante Fe Meatloaf. I showed you how to make a collar and sling for your slow cooker to make cooking things like cake and meatloaf  possible in the slow cooker.

Quick review:

The collar helps distribute heat from the back of your slow cooker (most often the hottest point) to avoid burning. The sling allows you to lift out casseroles, cakes, and other “solid” items in one step, keeping them whole. (See this post for more details.)

People! I have never in my life had a cake as moist as this one. Cooking it in the slow cooker is almost like it’s being steamed. The cake comes out so beautiful – you’d never guess it was made in a slow cooker! One piece of advice, when you remove the lid – do it quickly! You don’t want the condensation from the lid dropping onto your cake 🙂

The simplest way to serve it is with a dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. This cake would also be fabulous with some vanilla ice cream – yum! This cake takes approximately three hours in the slow cooker. Check it around two hours to see how it’s doing. If it’s looking a little dark around the edges, and the cake is already set up, you can use the sling to “rotate” the cake inside the slow cooker. Put the lid back on and let it roll.

If it’s looking like it’s cooking evenly- just leave it alone and thank your lucky stars you have a good slow cooker 😉  I totally forgot that one of my slow cookers is crappy and cooks mega-unevenly and of course that was the one I chose to make the cake in. You can see how perfect it turned out though – it just needed a little mid-cooking adjustment 😉

This cake is so perfect for those days when all the burners are on and the oven is packed with other goodness – it also makes the house smell amazing!

Tips:

  • Keep the foil sling as smooth as possible for a “perfect” looking cake.
  • Use 2-4 pieces of foil to create a sling that covers the entire bottom surface of your slow cooker.
  • Check the cake at 2 hours to make sure it is cooking evenly.
  • Let the cake rest.

    I have a baking tin and rack that go in my slow cooker, can I just use that instead of the foil and sling?

    I was skeptical for sure – but made this on Thanksgiving (Canadian) and it was spectacular! So moist and with a dollop of fresh whipped cream – even better! Thank you!

    Not bad, I would make again but with even more changes than I already made. Does not need 2 cups of sugar, holy jeebus that’s a lot of sugar! I used 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 butter. It needs way more spices, I’d at least double them. Plus I’d use even less butter next time, maybe 2 tbsp. I may also try adding walmuts, just needs something more. I also only cut out parchment for bottom (not that crazy tin foil thing, that seems so wasteful) but make sure you butter sides.
    And that pop up for your cookbook, that covers the top of the screen is really annoying on a smart phone, takes up about half the screen.

    This looks so delicious! I live in a small town, and I could not find the foil collar and sling anywhere. Can I bake this recipe in the oven instead? If so, at what temperature, for how long, and would I need to modify the recipe at all? Thanks!

      Oh Anna! You don’t need to purchase the foil collar and sling – you just make it with foil. This post will help you I think: http://www.momontimeout.com/2013/09/slow-cooker-sante-fe-meatloaf-recipe/ Also, if you cant figure it out, no worries. The sling and collar just help distribute the heat and remove the cake. You can totally make it without it!

        Well I feel sheepish. 🙂 Thanks for the link, I’ll try that when I make the cake!

        And btw…is normal foil strong enough to not tear when you pull the cake out of the slow cooker, or do you need heavy duty foil?

    Would you suggest to bake this cake in the oven as well? If so, what temp. and for how long? I’m looking for a pumpkin cake recipe to use with a Flan for this fall!

    It turned out so delicious, moist and perfectly seasoned. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour, part Splenda brown sugar and part pure sucralose for sweetener, 1 tablespoon butter and the rest applesauce, added a grated carrot, a handful of sunflower seeds as well as a tablespoon each of flax and chia seeds. I used a 5 qt crockpot that cooks on the hot side and it was perfectly cooked in 2 hrs on high. I did not use the aluminum foil sling, but sprayed the crockpot well with pam and the cake was easy to remove. Thanks for posting this flexible recipe, this is going in my favorites file!

    What is a sling?

      The foil sling is what goes underneath the cake that helps you pick it up out of the slow cooker when it’s done. Hope that helps Amy!
