    This slow cooker orange, pistachio and honey cake was inspired by and adapted from this recipe from Delicious magazine. I wanted to make a bigger version, use my slow cooker and add more flavour by adding an orange and honey syrup drizzled over the cake when warm.

    The flavours remind me of Morocco and you can imagine nibbling a slice served with some mint tea!

    What Ingredients Will I Need?

    • butter
    • eggs
    • caster sugar
    • honey
    • flour
    • pistachios
    • orange zest and juice
    • water

    How to Make Slow Cooker Orange, Pistachio and Honey Cake

    Melt butter. Whisk together eggs, caster sugar and honey for 5 minutes until thick.

    Fold in flour, chopped pistachio and orange zest.

    Stir in the melted butter.
    Grease your slow cooker pot, and line it with baking paper or a cake case. Pour the mixture into the pot, and top with a little more orange zest.

    Turn the slow cooker onto high, put the lid on, and cook for 1-2 hours. The cake is ready when a skewer comes out clean.

    Cooking time will depend on your slow cooker so check regularly for burning.

    While the cake bakes, make the syrup. Put the honey, water and orange juice into a small pan and heat gently. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens and becomes like a syrup.

    When the cake is cooling, pour the syrup over the cake and it will be absorbed in. To serve, drizzle a little more runny honey over the cake, and top with some finely chopped pistachio.

      I never in a million years would have thought about making a cake in the slow cooker! I love the flavours and it actually looks really, really yummy. Will have to try this (especially when I finally do up my kitchen).
