Crock Pot Pecan Pie Cake Notes
- This cake doesn’t have a ton of liquid in it, so I didn’t use paper towels under the lid. If it makes you feel better, go ahead and use paper towels under the lid!

I noticed it does not have any leavenings. Is it a dense cake?
It is a dense cake…kinda like how pecan pie is really dense. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
I made this in my large oval crockpot. I placed a 6โ baking pan in the bottom of the crockpot and then poured the batter into a greased 8โ baking pan, which I positioned over the 6โ baking pan. I essentially used the oval crockpot as a mini oven and the 6โ pan served to keep the 8โ pan from having to be in contact with the crockpot. It tasted great but so far it has been impossible to remove anything that resembles a piece. Should I have baked it longer? I didnโt see any instructions to indicate when they are โdoneโ. Do you think parchment on the bottom would help? FYI, baking in an 8โ pan resulted in a pie cake that was 1/2 inch deep.
Hmmmm…I’m not sure why it won’t come out in pieces. I use the toothpick test when baking a cake to make sure it is done. Parchment paper might help, but I haven’t tried it that way. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes.
I noticed your cake has a rectangular shape did you place your batter in a pan then place the pan
in the crockpot ? It would really nice for serving to have the shape of a loaf pan .
Hi Kathy!
I did not put my batter in a pan. I used a 6 quart oval crock pot that I knew baked well. This piece is just cut out of the long side of the oval. While the non-traditional shaped pieces may not be quite as pretty, I promise you, they are just as yummy!

Can I swap pecans for walnuts?
Hi StephyGee!
I haven’t tried it that way, but think it should work. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
Aunt Lou
Do I pre-heat my crock pot?
Nope. Just put your batter in and turn your crock pot on. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
This sounds so easy and yummy. Can you describe the texture for me? I love the gooey inside of pecan pie. Is this anything like that? Thanks!
Hi Amy!
It is a moist cake with incredible flavor, but it is not gooey like the pecan pie. It is more cake-like in consistency, but has the flavor of a pecan pie.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Aunt Lou
ok so I made this last night…I only had the big crock available so I doubled the recipe thinking it would fit better and cook better…it took much longer to get the top cooked- like maybe two hours total…but it really was delicious. I served it with Haagen Dasz vanilla ice cream…tastes a like a delicious pecan pie…thanks for the recipe- I will keep it in my recipes book and make it again…
That sounds delicious Marcie! I like the way you think!
Aunt Lou
Sounds good…! Could I use my casserole crock for this recipe?
Hi Debby!
I haven’t tried it in my casserole crock yet. I usually like to make my cakes in one of my 6-quart oval crock pots. If you use your casserole crock for this, let me know how it turns out. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Can’t wait to try this! thank you Aunt Lou!
You’re gonna love it Pamela! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Could you double this recipes and cook in the Crockpot Casserole Cooker? What if any changes would be needed? Would the cooking time stay the same? I need to serve 16-18.
Hi Carolyn!
I havenโt made it in my casserole crock yet. If you were to double the recipe, I would be worried that it might be too thick in the middle if you doubled the recipe.
In order to serve that many people, I would make two cakes in two different crock pots. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
If I made this in a casserole crock pot would I double the recipe?
Hi Terry!
I haven’t made it in my casserole crock yet. It would be thinner in the casserole crock if you didn’t double it, but I would be worried that it might be too thick in the middle if you doubled the recipe. If you give it a try in your casserole crock, let me know how you did it and how it goes! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
I can’t wait for an occasion to come up so I can try the pecan pie cake recipe!! It looks delicious!!!!
Hi Keemee!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! It is so yummy!
