Instructions

  1. Line the slow cooker with parchment paper, ensuring the edges are covered.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice.
  3. In another bowl, beat together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl to create the cinnamon filling.
  5. Spread half the batter evenly in the slow cooker. Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon sugar.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. Once the cake is cooked, let it cool for 15 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.’, ‘Rotate the slow cooker insert halfway through cooking for even results if your slow cooker has hot spots.’, ‘Keep the lid closed during cooking to retain moisture and heat.’, ‘Start checking for doneness at the 2-hour mark to avoid overcooking.’, ‘Make the glaze ahead of time while the cake is cooking to save time.’]
