2 Ingredient Cake

Thanks for the great recipe. Turned out a treat. I only had a tin of pie apples in the pantry and one of the cheap woolies cake mixes. I add some milk to the mixture as the pie apples don’t have any juice, plus a dash of cinnamon. Will be adding this to our caravan recipes.

I made this with vanilla cake mix and a can of crushed pineapple. So very yum.

You can make your own or if you have trouble making it how you like it you can buy tubs of ready made chocolate or butter icing in the cake aisle that is absolutely divine – then you simply spread it on 🙂

What icing did you use for the photo? Recipe please, I need all the help I can get!

The 1.5L can sometimes have a hot spot. So during cooking of your cake rotate the inner cooking bowl around occasionally so that hot spot doesn’t stay in the one spot of the cake 🙂

Please help me every time I cook. Cake in my small cooker . I line it and spray it , but it always burns on one side . I use the tea towel

Hi Debbie, was this in a cake tin or straight in? This time is based on a 1.5L slow cooker so a flatter cake in a ‘large’ cooker should cook faster.. however if it’s in a cake tine etc instead that will cause it to cook longer 🙂

Hi first time at this its been in my large slowcooker for 4 hours and still not cooked i have it on high with tea towel cover any one else had the problem

Made this tonight. Exactly to recipe. Used 1.5 litre SC. Chocolate and canned cherries. Just delicious. Soooo easy.

I just did a box of yellow cake mix and cherry pie filling. Will that work?

I am also not in America or Canada 😉
And the size of the can and cake mix is given in the recipe already Katrina?

What size can of fruit should you use? (For example with a standard Betty Crocker box cake mix)
I’m not in America or Canada. Approximately how much liquid is needed? I want to have this work. 😉

No reason that it should crack it Lyn 🙂

So easy I really loved this one I used Aldi carrot cake mix and golden circle crushed pineapple, great recipe

I made this cake yesterday, I used a packet carrot cake mix and a tin of pineapple pieces. I put mixture in a silicone cake tin and placed it in my 5 litre slow cooker with tea towel under lid cooked cake for 1 1/2 hours on high. Then iced with vanilla icing. It turned out beautifully so moist, delicious 😋. I will definitely be making this one again thank you for sharing 🥰

Use any icing you prefer usually or even a pre made frosting if you find that easier 🙂

What is the icing recipe please.

I recently made this earlier this evening
And used nutella for the middle and also instead of using frosting on top used tsp drops of butter cream frosting for the lava technique
Was a little hesitant at the beginning
But surprisingly it actually came out
Very successful

That’s right 🙂 Just the box mix and fruit with juice

You can do either 🙂
Here’s INFO on how

Would I be able to do this in a crockpot express? It has a slowcooker button and two heat settings.

I am going to be making a chocolate, and black cherry one on Monday for Christmas day on Tuesday.

Love this cake. Made it today
Will make it a regular thing, great to take to friends houses to.

Sure it will 🙂
Shape doesn’t matter

Looks great, I only have a oval 1.5 ltr will that be ok

This was so delicious constructed it a different way, was like a peach cobbler. Tinned peaches big tin on the bottom straight into slow cooker, cake mix straight out of packet sprinkled over peaches few dobs of butter on the top, cooked about 3, or 4 hours, sprinkled cinnamon and vanilla sugar on the top cinnamon helped with the colouring, I used. Butter cake but have used vanilla cake

Hi Rebecca
Sure you can
If they are oven proof then they’ll be slow cooker proof 🙂

Instead of using baking paper could I just pop in a large paper cake liner so there’s no mess. Sorry if I sound dumb but first time sc baker lol

Amazing.. Just under 2 hrs cooking time.
Vanilla cake mix with a can of pineapple chunks… I’m impressed…

Sure you could carefully invert your bowl
I line mine with baking paper then lift it out by that 🙂

Mine is cooking now: yellow vanilla cake mix and tin of mandarins. The tin was small so I added a small container of no sugar applesauce (the kind for school lunches). I’m getting excited. I’ll test for donness at the 2 hour mark. Slurrrp.

what was the size of the cherries can and cake mix please?
Maybe the balance was out?
Sounds like too much liquid.
What size cooker and what sort of cake tin please
Maybe we can help you work it out 🙂

I made last night the chocolate and cherries and it was a disaster i put water in the base of my cooker and tea towel and 2hrs later wasn’t cooked easy recipes have made harder recipes and no problem i can’t work out what went wrong had to throw it out it felt like it was too moist

This recipe is so easy and so moist beautiful thank you for sharing

I would go 1.5 tins
In a loaf tin check it in half hr intervals after the 1hr mark I’d say 🙂
Don’t worry too much about the heat issue… I’m a constant lid lifter/checker and it doesn’t affect my recipes 🙂

My packet mix is 470 grams and the fruit I bought only came in 310g tins. Can I use all of both tins or should I use 1 1/2.

I want to use loaf tins in my slow cooker. Any idea how long to cook for? If I keep lifting the lid to see if it’s cooked I’ll lose all the heat.

New to slow cooking and not the best cook at the best of times!
Thanks

You are most welcome 🙂

I did mine with a tin of sliced pears. My husband loved it but I found it very pudding like. I will have another go buts will ensure I have some icecream or cream on hand to have with it

This is so easy, so good. I will be doing it again and again. I did chocolate fudge cake and tin of black cherries, served with cream. YUM!

Made this with a tin of black cherries (blitzed because granddaughter doesn’t do ‘bits’) & a chocolate cake mix. Cooked in my 1l sc & it looks & smells delicious.

Can you use frozen berries and a tin of fruit juice instead ?? Anyone tried ??

I made this using a butter cake mix and a tin of fruit salad. It took the full 2 hours and was very moist. Everyone loved it!

Really moist cake..mine did take longer to cook in 3.5 Litre. ..but so easy..

Made this today with lemon cake mix and pineapple chunks in syrup. Soooo tasty and beautifully moist! Can’t wait to try different flavours!!!

Did you rotate your inner pot (if round) during cooking?
Sounds like yours may cook hot.
You could also cook it in a cake tin or silicone tin etc sitting on eg a trivet in your slow cooker to get it away from the hot sides etc

I tried this today with a tin of crushed pineapple. It came out really stodgy, as though it wasn’t cooked properly but it was starting to burn on the outside. I’m not doing very well with puddings. 🙁

The cherry cake came out superbly! But a hint- I now double to glad-bake paper in strips, and then put an extra circular paper on the bottom, over the strips to stop burning.
Now, the tea-towel takes up the moisture off the top of the cake as it is cooking. Without which it would leave it wet on top.

The Tea Towel Trick

can anyone tell me what does the tea towel do please.

Attempting this just now with tin of peach slices(410g) and a packet of vanilla cake mix (400g), wish me luck 🙂

There may be something wrong with your slow cooker?
5.5 being such a large cooker should have been done even faster than normal not sooo much longer?

Got my little surprize in the 1.5 L cooker.! Have choc cake mix, added an egg ( don’t need to though) and 1/2 bottle of pitted cherries.
Waiting in anticipation…….

That’s correct 🙂

no egg no water nothing added ?

Made this delicious cake 2 nights in a row. Last night i used 440gm coles chocolate cake mix with 425gm can of pitted black cherries served with vanilla ice cream. Tonight i used same cake mix with 425gm of mixed berries served with thick dollop cream. Extremely moist cake. My 19yr old daughter normally wont eat cake but has now requested to have this for dessert every night 🙂
