I love lemon flavored desserts.
I also love blueberry desserts. (This Crock Pot Blueberry Cake is delicious.)
So when I saw this recipe, I knew I wanted to try it out in my crock pot.
Lemon-Blueberry Crock Pot Cake
The original oven recipe calls this a crumb cake.
Confession time: I am completely inept when it comes to making crumble for a crumb cake…which is completely sad because that is my favorite part of a crumb cake. It never fails that I either have my butter too hard or to too mushy. I am sure there is a perfect medium, I have just yet to find it.
So as always, I ended up with an “almost crumble” mixture and mushy butter on my fingers…and I didn’t take one taste of the concoction on my fingers when I was done. 😉 You might have better luck with the crumble and it may come out prettier than mine. If so, kudos and please share your secret!
If you share my inadequacies, don’t fear. This Lemon-Blueberry Crock Pot Cake is absolutely succulent. The moist lemon cake pairs wonderfully with the juicy blueberries!

I whipped up this yummy cake in my 3 qt crock pot. Any 3-4 qt slow cooker would work. I wouldn’t go any bigger than that though…you don’t want to burn this yummy cake!

I wonder about using the new “9X13” type crockpot.
I don’t have one of those, but I bet it would work. The cake wouldn’t be as thick, so make sure you watch it closely until you know how long it should cook.
I have a small, two quart, crock pot. Could I make this cake in it and still have it turn out alright?
Thank you – love your recipes and website!
A 2 quart should work as well, you just want to watch it closely the first time you make it and adjust your timing as necessary. Enjoy!
Why use paper towels for this recipe for lemon blueberry cake in slow cooker? When else would you do that?
The recipe called for the paper towels to keep the moisture that collects on the lid from dripping down on the cake. You would use this trick anytime you would want to keep the lid’s moisture off the food you are cooking.
