Crock Pot Cakes
By scarlethawthorne
Did you know that you could slow cook yourself a cake? You don't need to buy special pans, racks or inserts
- Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsps brown sugar
- 3 tbsps melted butter
- 16 ozs cream cheese
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 - Find a heat-resistant dish that will fit into your crock pot for the cheesecake. You will need it to create a water bath inside the crock pot.
- 2 - Pour 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs into a medium bowl. Add melted butter and brown sugar and stir into a crumbly mixture. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the heat-resistant dish.
- 3 - In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, cream, vanilla, and flour. Pour the cheese mixture on top of the crust.
- 4 - Add 1/2 to 1 cup of water to the bottom of your crock pot. Lower the dish inside, being careful to not to splash the water.
- 5 - Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, checking on it after every hour. The cheesecake is done when the edges are no longer shiny and have set. It should be semi-firm to the touch.
- 6 - Let the cheesecake cool in the crock pot for up to an hour, and then transfer your cheesecake to the refrigerator to let it set. Chill for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.
Moo la la 3 Milk Cake

A Tres Leches Cake is a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk until the cake cannot soak any more up
- This is another sponge cake recipe, so refer to the Victorian sponge cake recipe within my collection. Once the sponge is baked and cooled, pierce the cake with a fork to allow for the milk to settle in.
- Some bakers set their cake in a springform pan lined with linen before pouring the milk...I'm one of those.

- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
