Slow Cooker Lemon and Berry Self-Saucing Pudding

This recipe for slow cooker lemon and berry self-saucing pudding or pudding cake was inspired by a slow cooker Facebook group I follow called Slow Cooked Wonders.

I love a fruit pudding and decided to use a mix of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries in my self-saucing pudding. It’s also great with strawberries in it. You make the cake mixture up and then pour on a mixture of lemon infused boiling water and sugar which makes the sauce that forms underneath the pudding.
