4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Lemon Blueberry Spoon Cake
Introduction
This 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Lemon Blueberry Spoon Cake is a bright, comforting dessert that feels homemade with almost no effort.
Bursting with juicy blueberries and fresh lemon flavor, it gently cooks in the slow cooker into a soft, pudding-like cake that’s perfect for scooping
straight from the pot. Ideal for busy days, family gatherings, or anytime you want a simple dessert that tastes special.
Ingredients
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup lemon soda (or lemon-lime soda)
- ½ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker.
- Spread the blueberries evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, lemon soda, and melted butter.
Stir until just combined—do not overmix. - Pour the batter evenly over the blueberries. Do not stir.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 2½–3 hours, or until the center is set
and the edges are lightly golden. - Turn off the slow cooker and let the cake rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Description
This spoon cake has a soft, moist texture similar to a cobbler-meets-cake dessert.
As it cooks, the blueberries release their juices, creating a lightly jammy layer underneath
the fluffy lemon cake. The citrus flavor keeps it refreshing while the slow cooker method
ensures a tender, never-dry result.
Tips
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Frozen blueberries can be used directly—no need to thaw.
-
Place a clean kitchen towel under the slow cooker lid to absorb excess moisture
if the cake seems too wet. - If desired, add lemon zest for a stronger lemon flavor (optional).
Correction
- Do not overmix the batter, or the cake may turn dense.
- Avoid lifting the lid too often, as this releases heat and extends cooking time.
- Do not stir after pouring the batter—this keeps the blueberry layer intact.
- Overcooking can dry the edges, so begin checking at the 2½-hour mark.
Enjoy
Scoop it straight from the slow cooker, share with loved ones, and enjoy the sweet-tart
magic of lemon and blueberries in every bite. This easy dessert proves that simple ingredients
can still deliver big comfort and flavor.
