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!!

- ⅔ cup oil (I use coconut oil)

- 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!
