Preparation

Step 1

Line the bottom of your slow cooker with a aluminum foil so it comes up about 1 to 2 inches up the sides.
Butter the foil or spray with cooking oil.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients ( flour, sugar, spices, baking powder, soda and salt ). In a small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients ( water, oil and eggs ).
Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients and beat until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in carrots and coconut. Spread the batter in your slow cooker. Cover and cook on high 2 to 2,5 hours. Check the cake after 1 3/4 hour with a toothpick. My cake was done around the 2 hour mark. If the toothpick comes out clean – your cake is done.

Let it cool for 5 minutes in the slow cooker with lid off. Lift the cake out and cool completely on a cooling rack. When your cake is completely cool, use your jar as a template and cut circles of cake out with a sharp knife. Slice each circle in half, as you would for a layer cake. Place the bottom half on the bottom of your jar. You can crumble the cake and sprinkle it onto the bottom of your jar and then gently press down.
With the frosting in your piping bag, cover the cake layer with the frosting. Place the top layer of your cake on the layer of frosting. Now be creative and make a pretty swirl of frosting on the top layer of your cake.
Add sprinkles. Repeat for every jar. Crumble the scraps of your cake and fill the jars as suggested above.
Enjoy!
