Ingredients

- 3 large eggs
Instructions
-
Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker
with nonstick spray or butter, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal. -
Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix,
blueberry pie filling, and eggs. Stir until fully combined. Do not overmix. - Transfer to Slow Cooker: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared slow cooker.
-
Cook: Cover with the lid and cook on Low for 2–3 hours
or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cooking times may vary
depending on your slow cooker model. -
Cool and Serve: Turn off the slow cooker and let the cake cool for
15–20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Description
This cake is incredibly moist with a tender crumb and bursts of juicy blueberries in every bite.
The lemon cake mix adds a bright citrus flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the
blueberry filling. It has a slightly dense, cobbler-like texture, making it ideal for serving
warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: Stir just until combined to keep the cake soft and fluffy.
- Prevent Condensation: Place a clean kitchen towel under the lid (without touching the cake) to absorb excess moisture.
- Check Early: Slow cookers vary, so check at the 2-hour mark.
- Extra Zing: Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest for a stronger lemon flavor.
- Serving Idea: Dust with powdered sugar for a simple, elegant finish.
Correction & Helpful Notes
- If the center seems slightly soft but not wet, turn off the slow cooker and let it sit covered for 15 minutes—it will continue cooking from residual heat.
- If edges cook faster than the center, rotate the insert halfway through cooking if possible.
- Keep the lid closed during cooking to avoid heat loss and ensure even baking.
Enjoy!
