Being without an oven was going just fine...
...until I got a hankerin' for some cake!
Silly sweet tooth!
So I googled "Slow Cooker Cake Recipe".
(What would I do without my friend google?)
I was surprised how many recipes popped up.
Many were for chocolate lava crock pot cakes.
Although those sounded really,really good,
I'm really trying to stick with healthier recipes. Really.
I also wanted a cake that we could eat for breakfast.
Doesn't every mom serve cake at breakfast?
I guess I'm just that cool...or not.
So I finally landed on this Blueberry Coffee Cake recipe from the Weight Watcher's website.
WW...must be healthy, right?
To my delight, this recipe is healthy and most importantly, delicious!
So delicious, I might just keep on baking in my crock pot!

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used Greek yogurt)
2 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened blueberries
1 Tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
* Combine both flours, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Combine egg, yogurt, oil and vanilla extract in a small bowl; stir well. Beat egg mixture into flour mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth; stir in blueberries.
* Grease a 2-quart round soufflé dish; spoon batter into dish. Grease a sheet of aluminum foil; cover dish tightly with foil, coated side-down, so no water seeps in.
* Pour 2 cups of hot water into a 5-quart or larger slow cooker; place covered baking dish in slow cooker. Cover slow cooker; cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. Remove baking dish and cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Turn cake upside down onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing.
Notes
* You can substitute fresh or frozen and thawed raspberries or chopped strawberries for the blueberries, if desired.
Finished baking and definitely worth the wait!

yum.....it's 11pm and I'm starving. NOT the motivation I needed to just suck it up and go to bed ;) I will look at this recipe more indepth in the morning :D
Yummy...you should have taken a huge bite out of that big cake when it came out of the slow cooker - that would have been a funny picture. You exercised self-control, though. I've got to try out some of these recipes in my slow-cooker!
I think I missed a post about not having an oven...?
This looks great, Londa. I may have to try it out. :)
Wow...that looks delicious -- and healthy to boot? I'm bookmarking this page.
