[annie]

1 (17 oz) can of peaches, apricots in heavy syrup
1 box cake mix, yellow, white, or vanilla

Frosting:
1 c. peach jam or apricot preserves
1 small box of instant vanilla pudding
1 container (12 oz) of whipped topping

Preheat traditional round crockpot on high for 10 minutes. Generously spray crock with cooking spray.
Puree the peaches or apricots with syrup in blender until smooth. Pour into medium mixing bowl. Add the dry cake mix and blend well with mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Pour into crock.
Place a sheet of paper towel over the crockpot, then put lid on.
Cook on high for 2 1/2 hours or until passes the toothpick test for doneness.

For frosting:
With mixer and medium bowl, mix together frosting ingredients on low speed for about a minute.

Serve FROM crockpot - do not invert onto a plate. Top with a dollop frosting.
Refrigerate any leftover cake.

This cake is so moist, sometimes I don't even make the frosting! Great for days you don't to turn on the oven OR your oven is in use.

Is this recipe for the oval shaped crocks or the traditional round?

[annie]

The traditional round. Sorry - I forgot to specify the size. Another thing I should mention is not to mix the cake mix as directed! It is just the dry mix itself.

This sounds good, and would be great to make on Sundays!

Sounds good. Since you are looking for a cold packer Annie, I thought you might be interested in what I did in the crock pot. I made apple butter. I peeled the apples, chipped off small pieces of the apple from the core directly into the crock pot. I started the apples on high with a tablespoon or two of water. I also added some sugar to keep the apples from turning brown too soon. After the apples started to break down, I added ground cloves, cinnamon and more sugar. Do this to taste. I made two different patches, but the first was the best because the apples cooked into an applesauce. I used a mixer on the second batch because I used a different kind of apples. When the apple butter was the consistency I wanted, I put it in sterilized jars and into a water bath for 15 minutes to ensure a seal.

I make my apple butter the same way and it is so good. I have just made 26 jars of it. I, too want to try the cake in the crockpot. Sounds really good.
