Slow Cooker Sugar and Spice Cake...

I went on KSL's Studio 5 show again, for a Valentine's Day episode, and made a sweet treat, both in the slow cooker, and in the oven.

Okay, so the heart shaped cake in this picture wasn't made in the slow cooker, but the other one was! Yes, you can make a cake in the slow cooker. It will just come out being circular or oval shaped, instead of heart shaped!

Sugar and Spice Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
1 package (about 3 ounces) instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1 cup light sour cream
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
Sugar and cinnamon mixture (1/4 cup sugar and 1
teaspoon cinnamon)

Combine all ingredients except sugar and cinnamon
mixture by hand in a large bowl. Set aside. Sprinkle
sugar and cinnamon mixture into a greased pan to use
in slow cooker (a spring form pan, or slow cooker bake
pan). Cover and cook on high heat 3 1/2 - 4 hours, or
until done in the center. Remove pan from slow cooker
and let rest for 5 minutes. Turn cake out onto
serving platter and cool completely. Garnish with
fresh berries and whipped cream.

Here I am, about to put some finishing touches on the cake. Mmmm! Whipped Cream!

Here I am with a friend of mine, Teresa, and the host of Studio 5, Darin Adams.

Slowcooking with Larry H. Miller

This week I did an slowcooker presentation for members of the Larry H. Miller group, at his highrise building on 94th South.

They asked me to come and do a lunch and presentation. There were about 20 people there, and I had fun. I took my neighbor Kathy with me to help out hauling all the stuff I needed to give the presentation.

I made Chicken Tortilla soup and Triple Chocolate Cake for them to sample after the presentation. It was a profitable day, and there are now a few more owners of my 101 Things to do with a Slowcooker book because of it!

What have I cooked in the slow cooker this week?

Chicken Tortilla Soup (3 slow cookers full)
Triple Chocolate Cake (2 cakes)

Here is the view from the office of the
Larry H. Miller Group where I did the presentation.
