Peachy Slow Cooker Confetti Cake
Description
This recipe uses a layering technique where canned peaches and their juices are placed in the slow cooker, sweetened optionally with brown sugar and flavored with vanilla. Cornstarch thickens the peach layer slightly. The confetti cake batter, made from cake mix, eggs, milk, and oil, is poured over the peach mixture and cooked on high in the slow cooker for about two to two and a half hours. Paper towels placed between the slow cooker and its lid absorb excess moisture to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
The finished cake features a tender crumb with moist, peach-infused pockets. The colorful sprinkles embedded in the batter add visual interest. Serving the cake scooped onto plates with peach topping and a scoop of vanilla ice cream creates a complementary contrast of warm, fruity, and creamy elements.
Ingredients
- 3-4 California cling peaches 14-15 oz cans, sliced, canned in juice
- ½ cup brown sugar optional if you like sweeter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 confetti cake mix 2-layer, package of your favourite, sprinkle included
- 1 ¼ cup milk
- ½ neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 3 egg
Instructions
- Pour the peaches, juice included, into the bottom of the slow cooker. You can use 4 cans if you like a lot of peach sauce, 3 if you want slightly less.
- Stir in the brown sugar (if you want it sweeter) and the vanilla. Taste test at this point and add more sugar if desired.
- Whisk in the cornstarch and with the whisk break up the peaches into slightly smaller pieces. You can leave the slices intact if desired.
- Beat together the cake mix, milk, oil and eggs until smooth, around 2 minutes.
- Pour over the peach mixture and smooth into an even layer.
- Place a double or triple layer of paper towels on top of the slow cooker, then the lid. The paper towels are important, they soak up extra moisture that will make the cake too wet if you exclude them.
- Cook for 2-2 1/2 hours on high. The cake will be done in the middle and a lovely brown around the edges when it’s ready.
- Scoop the cake onto plates and top with the peach topping and vanilla ice cream.
