This is an easy and simple crock pot banana cake recipe and you should have all the ingredients you need in your pantry or refrigerator. I used my small crock pot but you can use a cake pan and place that in the crock pot if you wish. The advantage of using the crock pot instead of the oven is that you can be cooking the main course in the oven and the dessert in the crock pot at the same time and the crock pot does not heat the kitchen up in summer either.
Simple Banana Cake Recipe
1/4 cup butter 3/4 cup sugar1 3/4 cups Self Raising Flour 2 medium to large ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs 3 - 4 tabs milk
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and bananas. Mix in flour and milk alternatively. You may not need all the milk if you use large bananas. Pour into a greased small crock pot or a 7-8 inch cake pan (place in crock pot). You can also use Slow Cooker Liners
Turn off the crock and let stand for about 10 minutes then turn out. Lightly run a knife around the edge to release. If using the cake pan do the same thing but remove the pan from the crock pot immediately and allow the 10 minutes to cool on the bench. You can dust some icing sugar over the cake or ice with lemon icing or cream cheese frosting. If using the frosting, keep leftovers in the refrigerator.
If serving as a dessert I like to place whole pecans on top of the mixture before cooking. Use small ones or they will sink. Alternatively you can mix them through before putting the mixture into the crock pot slow cooker

How cool baking a cake in the crock pot. Luv it!!! it turned out great.
And it tasted good too. I actually was surprised this mixture rose so high, just as well as if I made it the traditional way.
Do you think this will work in a “slow cooker?” I have one that is oblong and this would be better than heating up the oven this summer.

I’m going to give this a try this weekend to see if it will work in my slow cooker instead of a crock pot. I’ll let you know what my food testers have to say and also give you the temp settings.

I used my slow cooker for this recipe and it worked great. It has settings 1-5 and I used 3.
Thanks
