Cakes - in a slow cooker

[Meg888]

Hi. Has anyone tried this? Do they really turn out well? I'd love to do a Vic sponge, but the only recipes I can seem to find are like choc mud cake & stuff?

Inclined to agree with Eddie.

have just checked the instructions in my slow cook book and it says....Cakes and tea bread may be cooked in a cake tin. Cover the tin tightly with aluminium foil, allowing room for the cake to rise. Surround with boiling wateer like a steamed pudding and cook only on HIGH. Cakes should never be cooked without adding water.The result will not be as crisp and brown as oven-baked but icing or a jam glaze will disguise this. Chocolate cakes look attractive without icing.

maybe Eddie - just copied the instructions out of my slow cook book for Meg.

Thanks folks - I think I'll stick with my oven for these! I'll bet it does nice puddings though...
