Slow Cooker Raspberry and Blueberry Cake

The lovely spring weather has made me yearn for tasty sweet berries and raspberry cake sounded perfect. This cake can be served as a warm dessert with custard but also cold in slices!

I found a nice raspberry cake recipe here at Life in Mud Spattered Boots, and adapted it to include blueberries, and to the slow cooker.

Read on for my recipe for slow cooker raspberry and blueberry cake, cooked like a steamed pudding. Delicious warm with custard!
