Gingerbread Spoon Cake Slow Cooker Food

SLOW COOKER GINGERBREAD CAKE

Steps:

• NOTE - THIS RECIPE WILL WORK BEST WITH A OVAL SLOW COOKER. Using a round slow cooker may not allow the cake to set in the middle before the edges burn.
• You will need two bowls (both medium sized).
• In one bowl add the softened butter and sugar. Using a hand mixer (or kitchen aid with paddle attachment) cream the sugar and butter together. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Next add the molasses and blend until smooth.
• In the other bowl add the flour, salt, spices, and baking soda. Stir.
• Pour this dry mixture slowly into the wet ingredients while blending. This may be a little chunky.
• Next pour in the hot water and continue mixing until a smooth batter forms.
• Spray your slow cooker non-stick spray. Pour in the batter. Place the lid on the slow cooker.
• Set the slow cooker to HIGH and cook for 2 hours and 10 minutes without opening the lid during the cooking time. Check on the cake towards the end of the cooking time by peering through the lid. You can jiggle the stoneware to see if the cake is still jiggly. If it is still jiggly, continue cooking.
• Remove the stoneware from the heating element of the slow cooker and set on a cooking rack after the cooking time is up.
• Let cool until the cake is at room temperature.
• Best if served cooled (the spices are more profound).
• Serve topped with whipped cream, cool whip or ice cream.

SLOW COOKER GINGERBREAD CAKE WITH LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Beat butter and sugar for cake in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and mix well. Mix in molasses.
• Sift flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together in another bowl. Stir into butter mixture. Add coffee and beat well.
• Grease and flour the inside of a small, quart-sized French baking dish or baking insert. Pour in batter. Place in the slow cooker. Pour water around the insert or baking dish, halfway up the sides. Cover insert with lid, or cover baking dish with paper towels.
• Cover cooker with lid slightly ajar to allow excess moisture to escape. Cook until edges are golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, on Low, 3 to 4 hours, or High, 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Remove dish from the cooke and let cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before running a knife around the outer edge of the cake and inverting onto a serving plate.
• While cake cools, combine powdered sugar, water, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt for lemon sauce in a saucepan, stirring with each addition. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in butter.
• Top cake with lemon sauce.

GINGERBREAD SPOON CAKE

Steps:

• Spray a 4 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the gingerbread mix, half and half, cinnamon and ginger and raisins until moistened. The batter will be very thick. Spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker.
• In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, stir together the water, brown sugar, butter and vanilla. Bring mixture to a boil and carefully pour over the batter in the slow cooker.
• Set the slow cooker on the high heat setting and cover. Cook for 2 hours (the center will still appear very moist and a pudding like consistency). Remove the liner from the slow cooker or just turn the cooker off and allow to stand, uncovered, for an additional 45 minutes. Cake will be slightly cooled. Serve a spoon full of warm cake and pudding like center in a beautiful dessert bowl and top with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream and sprinkle of chopped candied ginger.
