Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk (use dairy-free alternatives like almond milk if needed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line your slow cooker with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until creamy.
  6. Pour half the batter into the slow cooker. Dollop spoonfuls of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter, then use a knife to swirl it gently. Add the remaining batter and repeat the swirl process.
  7. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm cake.
  9. Let the cake cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the parchment paper—it makes removing the cake from the slow cooker a breeze.’, ‘Room temperature ingredients ensure a smooth batter and even baking.’, ‘Swirl gently to avoid muddying the layers.’, ‘Slow cookers vary; check the cake at the 2-hour mark.’, ‘The cake tastes even better if you let it sit for 30 minutes after cooking.’]
