Crockpot cake for the win!

So today I was snooping around Pinterest. Looking for something that would be considered "light duty" yet different. You know how you just get into those moods where you don't want to do anything you've already done? Yeah that was me. Then I came across a few pins of crockpot cakes. Now I've cooked a lot of things in my crockpot but never thought of making a cake.

Now anyone that knows me knows I generally don't follow recipes to the letter, I always play with textures and ingredients and make it my own. So here ya go, my version of a quick easy crockpot cake.

1 box cake mix

1 can of pie filling (I used wild berry)

1/2 cup butter

3 eggs.

Cooking spray

Icing sugar

First off I sprayed my crockpot with cooking spray. Then directly into the crockpot put the pie filling, cake mix, beaten eggs, and softened butter. Gave it a light stir. Didn't go right to the bottom just try to get most of the dry cake mix moist. Then put the lid on, turned the crockpot on high, and set the timer for 2.5 hrs.

After cake was done we dusted it with icing sugar. 

This was so easy. By the second hour the house smelled delicious. The kids kept coming out asking if it was ready yet. Ha! Once it was done I just dusted it with a little icing sugar and voila! The boys added a little cool whip on top of theirs and it was GONE in seconds! 

This is definitely something I will make again!
