Bake Strawberry Shortcake in the Crock Pot

Want to learn how to bake strawberry shortcake in the crock pot? It’s an awesome method!

A few weeks ago, I shared how to bake cake in a crock pot. Why would we do this?? After all, it doesn’t save time!

Why it’s nice to know how to bake a cake in the crock pot:

If it’s hot outside and you want to avoid using the oven, this is a great option!
If you don’t have an oven for some reason, it’s fun to know that you can still do some baking in non-traditional ways!

Since this worked, I decided to use the same idea and try making my Strawberry Shortcake Recipe in my crock pot. It turned out amazing!!

Bake Strawberry Shortcake in the Crock Pot

Author: Laura

Serves: 15

Ingredients

2⅔ cups whole wheat flour (I use freshly ground whole wheat)
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs
½ cup honey or 1 cup sugar
⅔ cup oil (I use coconut oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
4-5 cups of fresh, sliced strawberries
Whipped cream (fresh cream whipped to form soft peaks, with a bit of stevia added for sweetness)

Instructions

Mix together flour and baking powder.
Add in eggs, honey, oil, vanilla and milk.
Stir well (or mix well with mixer).
Pour into a well buttered7-8 quart crock pot.
Lay paper towels to cover the top of the crock.
Place a wooden spoon between the paper towels and the crock pot lid to allow for venting.
Cook on Hi for two hours or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Once completely cooled, gently work the cake out of the crock with a spatula.
Allow cake to cool completely. Top with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

I have two crock pots; this one is my favorite. I’m loving the ways we can bake in the crock pot and avoid heating up the house!
