Having a busy day, but want something for dessert? This Easy Slow Cooker Lemon Pudding Cake can be put together quickly and bakes unattended while you’re doing other things. The great thing is that no one will ever guess how easy it is to put together and how minimal the hands-on time. It starts with a few convenience products, which really save time.

Lemon is a favorite flavor of almost everyone, and when spring is in the air, it’s a must. If you have a casserole crock (it’s the size and shape of a 9 x 13” baking pan and is perfect for cakes and bar cookies as well as casseroles), it’s the perfect size, otherwise, assemble this luscious dessert in your biggest slow cooker. It will take 10 minutes or less to assemble and 2-3 hours to bake (times will vary depending on your slow cooker). Serve it warm or cold with real whipped cream. Yum!
