Slow Cooker Chocolate Banana Cake

Finding uses for ripe bananas is always a fun excuse for getting creative in the kitchen. And while I love a good banana bread as much as the next guy I wanted to make a cake.

Looking through my pantry I found that I had a box of devil’s food cake mix and decided to combine the rich moist chocolate cake with some mashed bananas for a chocolate/banana flavor combo.

And of course I decided to bake the cake in my slow cooker because…well because this is a Crock-Pot recipes blog.

I know you could just bake the cake in the oven (and if you are going to do that just follow the baking instructions on the box of cake mix). But to be honest some folks don’t have an oven and a crockpot is all they have to cook in.

For me though the benefits of baking in my slow cooker is that I don’t have to heat up the oven, which in turns heats up my kitchen and house. And in the hot days of summer that sure is a blessing to be able to bake a cake, use up those brown bananas and end up with a tasty dessert for my family!

It’s a yummy win-win for me!


Equipment Needed For Crock-Pot Chocolate Banana Cake Recipe:

  • 6 Quart, 6.5 Quart Or 7 Quart Slow Cooker
  • Liquid Measuring Cup
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Silicone Spatula
  • Paper Towels OR Flour Sack Kitchen Towel
  • Fine Mesh Strainer (To Dust Powdered Sugar If Using)

Recipe Notes

I like to serve this cake dusted with a little bit of powdered sugar before serving. But you can also frost the cake with your favorite frosting (chocolate frosting is great!) or top your cake with fresh fruit such as sliced strawberries.

    This looks great. Hubby just said tonight that if I don’t do something with all the bananas in the freezer he was going to toss them!!! I think I’ll surprise him with a cake tomorrow night! :0)

    I wanted to try this recipe, but did not have a boxed cake mix. I made a chocolate cake batter from scratch and then just added the 3 ripe mashed bananas. It is going on 2 hours and the cake is still runny in the middle. I have the crock pot temperature on high with paper towels between the lid and insert. Any suggestions? Will this recipe not work with homemade cake batter?
    Thanks for any suggestions!!

      Hi Brenda, I have never tested this recipe using a homemade cake batter. It should work but it may depend on the type of homemade cake batter and the temperature variances of your slow cooker. You may just need to cook it longer.

      Un tiers d’une tasse d’huile végétale serait d’environ 78 ml. (Traduit avec Google tranlate).
