Just a question…what kind of bowl do you suggest? I’m not sure how deep of a bowl I need. My slow cooker is oval, btw, so I’m trying to figure this out. My mother LOVES lemon and would probably LOVE this. Thank you!
Michelle, I usually use my loaf pan as it fits nicely in my oval slow cooker. Hope this helps! Happy Crocking!
Michelle, thanks for asking….I was trying to figure out the same thing as I have never done this before with my crockpot. I was trying to google the answer with NO luck. Loaf pan….awesome.
Hi. What measurement does 1 T stand for? Do you mean 1 tablespoon?
Yes Lida, 1 T. = 1 Tablespoon, and tsp. = teaspoon! Thank you for the question, and Happy Crocking!
Does the recipe call for all-purpose flour or self-rising flour?
Genia the all-purpose flour! Enjoy!
Yes Genia you use all-purpose flour! Happy Crocking!
Does it matter if you use a glass or metal baking pan/bowl for the cake? I have both but generally prefer glass…
Jenn I usually use my glass as well, but I too have both. Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
Well I have an oval normal size crockpot, I think. And I have bread pans, normal size and it doesn’t even come close to fitting in my crockpot.
I would love to try this but I can’t believe it only takes 1/4 c. of flour? Is that correct? Thanks!
Karen that picture does not do it justice, but it is correct, as it is more like a sponge cake! But yes the ingredients are correct. Happy Crocking!
[…] Slow Cooker Baked Lemon Cake: For dessert, how about this super-moist lemon […]
I would love to bake this in the oven. Do you know how long and what temp I would do it for?
Marie I do almost all my cooking in the slow cooker, but with the way I convert oven recipes to slow cooker recipes, you may want to bake for about 45 minutes and check it, although I am not positive on the time, so you may need to watch it, and bake at the temperature you normally would bake a cake. Hope this helps.. 🙂
I’ve tried this recipe twice now and it hasn’t come out either time. The first time I think I measured the ingredients wrong and it came out uncooked after 4.5 hours on high. The next time I followed the directions to the T, but it was still soupy after 4.5 hours. I’m using a glass bowl as my loaf pan doesn’t fit in the Crockpot. What am I doing wrong?
Rita, It takes a 6 quart slow cooker and a loaf pan that will fit inside, so the lid will fit tight. Hope this helps.
