So if you didn’t notice, I have been on a bit of a lemon/blueberry kick here lately. Although this cake is similar to this Lemon-Blueberry Crock Pot Cakeย in that it has a lemon cake mix and blueberries in it, it is completely different.
Crock Pot Upside-Down Blueberry-Lemon Cake
This recipe has your whip the egg whites and uses blueberry pie filling instead of frozen blueberries. While this may not sound like it would make much of a difference…it really does!
The cake is light and moist…and almost fluffy and the blueberry pie filling gives you a little extra sweetness this time around.
Now don’t let the list of instructions scare you away. It seriously took all of fiveย to seven minutes to throw this together.

Ingredients for Slow Cookerย Upside-Down Blueberry-Lemon Cake Recipe

How to makeย Upside-Down Blueberry-Lemon Cake in a Crock Pot

Notes on this Crock Pot Upside-Down Blueberry-Lemon Cake Recipe
- Keep an eye on it the first time you make it to know how quickly your crock pot will cook it – mine took about an hour and a half.
- Now I know this will come as a huge shock, but I used myย Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cookerย for this recipe. It is just so easy to clean! I can’t help it! Any 5-6 quart slow cooker will do. I wouldn’t go any smaller though because this is a pretty thick cake.
