Slow Cooker Coffee Cake
This Slow Cooker Coffee Cake combines a boxed yellow cake mix with sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest for a moist base. A crumbly topping made from flour, brown sugar, butter, and spices is layered on before baking in a slow cooker. A simple powdered sugar glaze is drizzled over the cooled cake for added sweetness.
