Slow Cooker Lemony Cake
This Slow Cooker Lemony Cake is perfectly is the perfect combination of tangy and sweet. Serve it warm right out of your slow cooker – you can garnish it with whipped cream and berries, but it’s just as tasty on its own!

I guess it’s lemon week around here, considering I just posted Lemon Buttercream Lemonies a few days ago. What can I say, spring just says lemon to me!
But since it’s spring and the weather is finally warming up, I’m ready to start spending my evenings and weekends outside doing fun stuff – instead of being cooped up inside the house. By the time late March/early April rolls around, I’ve had it with winter weather and want to cook all of our meals on the grill and sit on the deck.
So…if we grill out and I make a dessert in the slow cooker, then I’ll have spent nearly zero time in the kitchen and we have a fabulous meal from start to finish.
I fell in love with slow cooker cakes after I made this Hot Fudge Cake a few months ago. Have you ever made a cake in your slow cooker? It’s really sort of magical. Just put your ingredients in, put the lid on and walk away – and in a few hours:
Bam! Slow Cooker Lemony Cake!

Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking. In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
