This easy peasy slow cooker cake is a guilt free yummy healthy cake packed with nutrients, protein, fibre and healthy fats.

Adjust sweetness and ingredients according to taste. There are no hard & fast rules and supplementing ingredients isn’t a problem. You just can’t go wrong with this slow cooker recipe. I prefer to use honey as a sweetener but you can use coconut or moscavado sugar.
