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!
How to Make Slow Cooker Raspberry and Blueberry Cake
Prepare the cake mix then layer up cake mix then a third of the berries until all the cake batter and berries are used up.
Place the Pyrex bowl in the slow cooker.
Put on the lid and you’ll be able to see as the cake rises during baking in the bowl.
Turn out the cake onto a plate to serve.
