Slow Cooker Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

This lemony cake is "baked" in the slow cooker is definitely a dessert. But, not too sweet so it qualifies for legal breakfast and snack fare! 

The recipe is inspired by Betty Crocker.

  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • ¾ cup coconut milk

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2 (8 ounce) containers of cream cheese, optional
  • 3½ tablespoons of honey, optional

  1. Coat an oval 6-quart slow cooker with baking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Spray again.
  2. Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, coconut flour, coconut flakes, baking powder, soda and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
