Carrot Cake In the Slow Cooker

Can you believe it? A delicious, moist carrot cake made in the slow cooker! Maybe that’s not such a surprise to many of you, but for me, a slow cooker seems a most unlikely appliance to use for baking. But, I tried it and it worked perfectly. One of our cooks at RecipeTips.com provided a helpful step-by-step demonstration (see "Slow Cooker Carrot Cake") that tasted every bit as good as an oven-baked version; in fact, I think it was probably better—it was definitely moist. I think the crock pot does a better job holding in moisture than just about any other cooking appliance.

You can serve the cake plain and cut into slices right out of the crock pot, but I managed to remove the cake from the crock in one piece and place it on a plate; then I topped the cake with cream cheese frosting. Here’s the recipe I used for the frosting:

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon milk
Simply combine all the ingredients, stirring until smooth, or use and electric mixer and beat the ingredients on high speed; then spread the frosting on the cake after it has cooled. Yum!

Grilled Italian Chicken and Vegetable Soup


The other day, I was browsing through recipes on RecipeTips.com trying to decide what to make with my abundance of garden vegetables.

The Subject is Tomatoes


  Some of us here in the Midwest have a common problem this time of year: We've got tomatoes coming out of our ears! It seems as though everyone with at least one square foot of open land or a flower pot on the back step has a tomato plant.

Herb Grilled Chicken


  Yes, another chicken recipe; and again, it's cooked on the grill. I know it might seem repetitious to write about another chicken recipe, but this time of year, I rarely get tired of trying different grilled chicken dishes.

  Here’s a chicken breast recipe that you might want to try: "Spiced Chicken Breasts with Apple-Jalapeno Chutney." It’s loaded with flavor and packs a bit of a punch with its moderate spiciness.

G would be my first choice but since I don't think that is going to happen I am going with F also. I have too many tomatoes to eat and give away so all the tomato information you have available is great.

excellent dinner, the video is so helpful to watch it be prepared before I did it. My boys loved it.

Great! I will definitely try that when my grill is buried in the snow. Thanks.

Beer Can Chicken


Yes, jwc, you can make beer can chicken in the oven. Simply set it on a broiler pan and bake it at 350ºF until the meat reaches 170ºF on a meat thermometer (about 1 1/2 hours for a 3-pound chicken).
