Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Grease the slow cooker insert with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture over the batter and swirl using a knife or skewer.
  6. Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread it evenly. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Mix the caramel sauce with sea salt and warm slightly if needed.
  8. Once the cake is ready, drizzle it with the salted caramel sauce. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.’, ‘Use room-temperature eggs for a smoother texture.’, ‘Check the cake at the 2-hour mark to avoid overcooking.’, ‘Microwave caramel sauce for 10-15 seconds if too thick.’, ‘Create deeper cinnamon swirls using a skewer or knife for bursts of flavor.’]
