Making Cake Slow Cooker Style

My little man turned 8 yesterday but I didn't do up a cake for him as he was a very busy boy. His one set of grandparents travelled a long ways to spend some time with him so I figured today I would try and make a cake. Well I know how to make cake buuuuut well I currently don't have a working oven so I have been trying to think on how I could go about making him a cake.
Electric Frying pan with a cooling rack inside. Nope can't try that right now as I don't have a cooling rack that will fit in my pan.
Microwave. Don't really want to try that right now as I'm not really into microwaving anything.
Slow Cooker Hmmm well why not try it as out of other options.

                                      
Today this country wife is going to give it a try and hope it turns out. Call me crazy but here we go.
Lets see
You always preheat your oven so lets preheat the slow cooker. Lets try it on setting low.
I'm going to line the slow cooker with parchment paper so that the cake doesn't stick to it.

Here I have put together a slide show to show what I did. Yes the cake turned out awesome, Go ahead and get a chuckle out of the decorating. I'm not very good at it.

 For the parchment paper part. I cut a circle out and cut along the bottom of another to layer the bottom of the crock pot and have it come up the sides.

As my cake was cooking I checked on it every 1/2 hour as I didn't know for sure what the temperature was and for my crock pot it took 2 hours to cook. Now yours might be different so I would keep an eye on it and do the same with checking every 20 minutes to a half hour until it is done.

My son was very excited and it turned out very moist and tasted pretty good. I shall do this again one day but the next time I try I shall try it with my pot on high to see how long it takes and if it cooks the outside but not the inside.

Thank you for taking the time to read my Cake in a slow cooker. Any feed back would be wonderful. How did yours turn out?
