How to Make Carrot Cake in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
A while back, Cris made this wonderful Sugar Free Crock Pot Carrot Cake. I thought I would give her recipe a try with regular sugar and flour. The results was a wonderfully moist cake that is full of incredible flavor, and you can’t forget the cream cheese icing!
What You Will Need for Crock Pot Carrot Cake
Ingredients Needed for the Cake
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon all spice
- 1 cup finely shredded carrots
Ingredients Needed for the Icing
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (1/2 of an 8 oz block)
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (or vanilla extract)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Equipment Needed
- Large mixing bowl and hand mixer or stand mixer (You will use this for your wet ingredients in your cake and for your cream cheese icing.)
- Medium mixing bowl (for the dry ingredients)
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Whisk, fork or spoon (to stir dry ingredients together)
- Butter knife
- Microwave safe small bowl or coffee cup
- Loaf pan
- Stirring spatula
- 6 quart slow cooker
Time Needed
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cooking Time: 4 to 5 hours on low
General Notes
- The icing for this recipe is VERY sweet, especially combined with the cake. If you would like a lighter tasting version, omit the icing and serve with a dollop of whipped cream instead.
- We use a loaf pan inside our 6 quart slow cooker to create a smaller cooking vessel, prevent burning and uneven cooking.
