Slow Cooker Coconut Jam Sponge Cake
Ingredients
Cake Batter
- 115 g soft butter or margarine
- 115 g caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 140 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 50 g desiccated coconut, optional
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp almond or vanilla extract, optional
Topping
- 2 tbsp raspberry jam
- Desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, except the desiccated coconut. Mix thoroughly, without over-beating until well-combined and smooth. Fold in the 50 g desiccated coconut into the cake batter, if using.
- Line the slow cooker with parchment. (See recipe note 1 below.) Pour the cake batter into the pot. Level out the top.
- Cover with a large piece of kitchen paper, held in place by the lid. (See recipe note 2 below). Cook on High for 1½, check if cooked and golden, otherwise continue cooking for about another 30 minutes.
- To check if it is cooked: insert a skewer into the centre of the cake – it should come out clean. Turn off and leave for 10 minutes. Before transferring on to a wire rack to cool.
- Once completely cooled, spread the top with raspberry jam. Sprinkle over desiccated coconut. Serve sliced, on its own. Or with custard.
Notes
- I used a deep 22 cm round cake liner, which fits my oval 3.5l slow cooker pot.
- Placing a piece of kitchen roll, under the lid. Will absorb the excess steam whilst cooking. Otherwise the cake will just steam, and won’t get golden brown.
- If you want to enhance the coconut flavour in this coconut jam sponge. Add desiccated coconut and vanilla or almond extract to the cake batter.
- I made this sponge cake recipe in a Morphy Richards Accents Sear and Stew 3.5 L Slow Cooker (See my review).
