Totally agree! For this and more yummy ideas, don’t forget to check out the Slow Cooker Recipe & tips page.

4 Ingredient Christmas Cake

* 1 kg mixed fruit (I add a packet of glacé cherries)

* 2 cups chocolate milk

* 1/2 - 3/4 cup Baileys (my preference)

* 2 cups self-raising flour

1. Soak fruit in milk & Baileys for 24 hours.

2. Fold in flour.

3. Line slow cooker with 2 layers of baking paper on bottom and sides. (I also double a long strip and put in first so easier to pull out when cooked).

4. Pour batter in and even out.

5. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Tea towel under lid.
