Slow Cooker Carrot Cake Dump Cake

I happen to really love crockpot dump cakes because of how EASY they are to make. Most of them have just a handful of ingredients and start with a box of cake mix which I like to buy when they go on sale at the grocery store and have on hand.

Carrot cake is actually one of my favorite cake flavors and so a carrot cake dump cake seemed like the perfect cake to add to our collection of dump cake recipes.

This recipe starts with a can of pineapple tidbits with the juice from the can. Then just a little bit of sugar is sprinkled on the pineapple.

Then the star of the recipe..a box of carrot cake mix is dumped on top of the pineapple and sugar. I used a box of Betty Crocker Super Moist Carrot Cake Mix because that is what I had on hand. But of course you can use your favorite brand.

And yes, the instructions are correct, you are just going to add the DRY cake mix to the slow cooker. You don’t make the cake mix with water, oil and eggs like the instructions on the box says. Just add the dry mix.

Lastly you are going to melt 2 cups (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in either the microwave in a small bowl or in a small pan on the stove-top. And then you are going to pour that melted butter over the dry cake mix as evenly as possible.

Now it is time to cook it. To prevent moisture from dripping down on your carrot cake as it bakes you want to put a layer of paper towels or a clean thin kitchen towel (I use a flour sack towel) between the slow cooker insert and the lid.

Next, just flip your slow cooker to HIGH heat and let it cook for about 2 hours.

I prefer to eat this carrot dump cake at room temperature, so I remove the lid, turn the slow cooker off and let it cool. But if the smell of this amazing cake is making you too hungry to wait you can just eat it hot.

To serve, just spoon the cake onto a plate or into a bowl and dig in. If you want to take your cake up a notch, a dollop of whipped cream is amazing or make a thin cream cheese icing and drizzle that over the top.
