What size slow cooker do you cook the Christmas cake in? Thank you.

So long as the bowl would be oven proof then yes you can slow cook in it 🙂

Meg the recipe does say plain and self raising flour, is this wrong.

I have a big slow cooker, could I put it in Pyrex bowl, put some water in slow cooker, and cook it in Pyrex bowl.

Treacle instead of golden syrup would make the cake a little darker and richer, but a good substitute for golden syrup if not available, and I would think it is a universal description.

Such an easy cake! The only thing I didn’t add was alcohol (because I didn’t have any) so I just used cooled black tea. Also had to cook 7 hours direct in the Crockpot. Everyone loved it, so moist, and I will definitely be making it again.

You could do either but I find baking paper the best.
No chance of sticking then 🙂

Hi,
This recipe sounds great but I’ve never baked in my slow cooker. Is greasing the bowl enough or would baking paper help?

I believe you would add the 1/3 cup water to the initial mixture?
I’ve updated this now to prevent further confusion.

Hi. Can someone please tell me where/when you add the water. I can’t see it used anywhere in the recipe but it is shown in the ingredients. Jan in Brisbane Australia

And no Golden Syrup is different to Corn syrup 🙂

As an American, I’m not sure what “golden syrup” is. Is this corn syrup? Also, How do I convert this to teaspoons and tablespoons from grams?
Thanks

I thought the recipe said 1/4 cup each of plain and self raising, bigger but will cook again. It will be nice with some custard

I did this cake today using a Kambrook 3ltr slow cooker, has been on for nearly 7 hrs, it needs a little longer. Looking forward to trying it, the house has smelt sooooo good all day 🙂

Do you use both the rum and water?

I presume you add the 1/3 cup water to the mixture. Mine took 7 hours to cook.

This one is usually done in a 6L Patricia. Alternatively we have a smaller one here also for the 1.5L or we have one here for cupcakes 🙂
