Vegan Slow Cooking for Two Launches - Let's Celebrate with a Blueberry Lemon Cake from Your Slow Cooker!

Today is the day my book officially launches! However, Amazon will start shipping it on the 5th, so you may have a few more days before it reaches your mailbox. While you’re waiting, here’s a lovely cake to snack on. This is my slow cooking take on desserts for 1 – only this one makes enough for 2 – but can stretch to be a mini dessert for 4.

When you bake a cake like this one in your slow cooker, it becomes moist and sumptuous. But you don’t want the condensation making it wet and preventing it from baking, so use a clean dish towel under the lid to soak up the moisture. Just make sure to fold the towel in quarters so it doesn’t touch the hot sides of your slow cooker.

I think the desserts like cookies or cakes are easiest to get out by lining your crock with parchment paper. Instead of fighting the cake, it just lifts up with the paper in one beautiful piece just like Kate’s did above.

I think it’s even better slow cooking  a cake in your small slow cooker because it only takes about 1 to 2 hours. Start it right before dinner and you’ll have a warm freshly baked cake waiting on you to dish out. You can even top it with some So Delicious Almond Milk Vanilla ice cream. It’s great for date night at home.

More delicious desserts from Slow Cooking for Two or Just You:

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie for Two (with Tons of Variations)
  • Chai-Spiced Apple Crumble
  • Oatmeal and Dried Fruit Cookie for Two
  • Apple Chocolate Chip Nut Bread Pudding
  • Butterscotch Rum Sauce
  • Pumpkin Coconut Caramel Sauce – one of my favorite recipes in the whole book. It’s amazing in coffee too!
  • Small Batch of Basic Brownies
  • Carrot Cake Rice Pudding
  • Coconut Hot Chocolate
  • Lavender Rose Valentine Cocoa

    Can’t wait to try this. I have your other books and love them, Will have to get this one someday. Congratulations!! Love how you get the vegan food and it’s goodness out there. We need to change the public’s opinion on veganism. Most people don’t get it at all. Books like yours make it easier to get on board. Thanks for that!

    I realize the cooking time would be longer…but have you had success doubling this recipe for use in a larger crockpot? It looks delicious!

      Cindy – I would do it more like my slow cooker poundcake: https://healthyslowcooking.com/2011/06/17/vegan-pound-cake-from-your-slow-cooker/. Since I developed this one just for the small slow cooker I have not tried it in a larger one. You caould try cooking it in a pyrex container inside a larger slow cooker though.

    Hi Kathy, I am a huge fan and usually have great success with your recipes, but this turned out… not good. Not sure where I went wrong, and I’ll certainly give it another shot I case it was operator error, but good grief, this was a disaster! Here’s a question, does baking powder go bad (get too old to be effective)? Also, my blueberries were frozen, so maybe that prevented the warm water and flax to do whatever it’s supposed to do. If I can get it sorted out I’ll certainly follow up! Best, Jamie
