Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Fruit Cake

3. Prepare the Slow Cooker

Line your slow cooker with baking paper (this helps with cleanup and prevents sticking). You can also lightly grease it if you prefer.

4. Cook Low and Slow

Pour the mixture into the lined slow cooker and smooth the top.
Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Avoid opening the lid too often — it lets heat escape and slows the cooking.

5. Cool and Serve

Let the cake cool in the slow cooker for 30–60 minutes before lifting it out. Once cooled completely, slice and enjoy!

🎄 Serving Suggestions

• Serve with whipped cream or custard for a dessert twist
• Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee
• Wrap in foil and store — this cake tastes even better after a day or two!
• Add a drizzle of honey or icing glaze if you want a sweeter finish

💡 Tips & Variations

• No self-raising flour? Use all-purpose flour + 2 tsp baking powder
• Want extra richness? Replace part of the juice with black tea or brandy
• Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for texture
• Make it festive with a bit of orange zest or holiday spices
