If you have a large rectangular slow cooker, it is the best for this cake, however, a large oval one works well, too. Two smaller round slow cookers make two small cakes, and are ideal for a small family; one can be wrapped and frozen.
16 Servings
Cake:
18 1/4 ounces spice cake mix, or yellow or white cake mix
2 eggs
3 to 4 ripe bananas
1/2 cup sour cream
Filling:
6 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 cups coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- Spray a 6-8 quart rectangular or oval slow cooker with non-stick spray (or 2 round slow cookers); press a piece of foil onto the bottom and up the sides 2 or 3 inches.
- Cake: Mix the cake mix, eggs, bananas, and sour cream until smooth.
- Pour into the prepared slow cooker.
- Make the filling; spread it evenly over the top of the cake (it will sink in as it should, but don't stir).
- Cover, set the slow cooker to low, and let cook 2-3 hours or until the cake is set in the center. Invert onto a serving platter, remove the foil, and serve warm or cold with whipped cream.
- Filling: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the sugar and whipping cream and slowly bring to a simmer.
- Stir until the sugar is dissolved; add the vanilla.
- Remove from the heat and add the coconut and nuts and stir.
