Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prep your slow cooker: Line your slow cooker with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs: Mix in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. Mix in wet ingredients: Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Mix everything together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined; don’t overmix!
  7. Cook: Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker and cover. Cook on low for 120 to 150 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Don’t overmix to avoid a dense cake.
