How to Make Hoosier Cake in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

I have a treat for you today! Years ago, Cris made this amazing cake for Easter in the oven. I was trying to think up a new recipe to try in my crock pot, and remembered that cake. The oatmeal raisin type cake was so delicious and just thinking of the icing had my mouth watering. I knew I had to try it out in my crock pot.

I gave this recipe a try as it was written for the oven. The batter was a bit too moist for crock pot to cook up the center before the edges started to burn. So, I adjusted the ingredients a bit. It still wasn’t quite right. So, I called in the big guns. I called Momma. You see, Momma used to bake cakes professionally when Cris and I were kids. (Her cakes are seriously the best!) I knew she could help me get it just right. This cake is so good that I was willing to try multiple versions of the recipe to make it work in the crock pot. Momma suggested upping the flour just a bit more than I already had and putting an oven safe bowl upside-down in the middle of the crock pot since that is the trouble area. Not only would that keep the batter from being in that pesky middle that doesn’t like to cook up as fast, it would also distribute some of the heat from the crock pot up through the bowl. I knew Momma would have my answer! Now you have this delicious Crock Pot Hoosier Cake to enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 cup old fashion oats
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Butter softened
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins

  • Add your oats mixture to your sugar mixture and mix with a mixer until well combined.
  • Add in your remaining ingredients and stir everything together with a mixer until you have a thick batter.
  • Put an oven safe bowl upside-down in the middle of your casserole crock and lightly spray everything with cooking spray.
  • Spoon your batter into your insert around the bowl and spread it out evenly.

  • Remove insert and set on a pot holder to cool completely before icing.

      The bowl I used was an oven safe 16 oz Corningware bowl. The bottom of the bowl measures about 4.5 inches across. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

We love hearing from you, it totally makes our day! Please remember, our comment section is much like our dinner table... You don't have to like everything we serve up, but you do have to use your manners.
