In a large bowl add the cake ingredients, stir until smooth, no need to get all the lumps out.
Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray and pour in the batter.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH For 2 hours or until the cake is done in the middle. It's best not to open the lid during the cooking time.
When the cooking time is up, turn off the slow cooker and pour over the remaining caramel. Serve warm with ice cream and enjoy!
Notes
Instead of spraying with non-stick cooking spray, you can line the slow cooker with foil or parchment.
Nutritional values do not include ice cream or whipped cream.
Cakes like this can be left on the counter for about a day. But last much longer in the fridge (about 3 days).
Variations
Caramel: Instead of regular caramel, you can use salted caramel OR butterscotch sauce. Both are found in the same section of the grocery store.
Oil: Melted salted butter can be used instead of oil.
Cake mix: For a different recipe completely, you can use a chocolate cake mix or spice cake mix! Both are wonderful with caramel.
