Hi Bold Bakers! Did you know you could bake in a slow cooker (or Crock Pot)? They can produce incredible desserts like this Gingerbread Pudding Cake. Crock Pots are fantastic especially if you live in a dorm or have a small kitchen. Around the holidays they save you time and space in your kitchen; you can just set it and forget it! Just the way I like it. Already have an account? You can cook many amazing desserts in a Crock Pot like this Apple & Blueberry Crisp or my decadent Hot Fudge Brownie in a Crockpot. The desserts don’t brown on top but what you do get are incredibly soft, moist treats. My crock pot is a large 4 quart version, however if you have a small crock pot then you can just halve my recipe. If you are using a rice cooker then follow the same instructions. One of my favorite things about this dessert is once it is fully mixed you can pop it in the fridge and cook it off the next day. This gingerbread gets incredibly moist and so soft you can eat it with a spoon, which is why I’m calling it a Pudding Cake. This dessert is aptly named a pudding cake because it is both- it has the softness and gooeyness of a pudding and crumbs like a cake.
I have heard these kinds of desserts referenced as “spoon dessert” because all you will want to do is eat it straight out of the crock pot with a spoon. Divine!
If you make any of my holiday desserts I strongly recoomend this one. That is not dissing my other desserts, this one is just THAT good.
