Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 300 g self raising flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 250 ml milk
  • 60 ml veg oil (I used sunflower)
  • 1 egg
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • Strawberry jam (or use different flavours of jam)
  • 100 g chopped glace cherries (optional)

Instruction

  • Put the flour and salt in a large bowl.
  • Mix the milk, egg, oil and sugar together in another bowl.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently.
  • Put half the mixture in your prepared (greased, lined) slow cooker bowl.
  • Drop on some spoonfuls of jam.
  • Top with the rest of the cake batter, then add more spoonfuls of jam on top.
  • Swirl the jam around with a knife to achieve a pretty effect.
  • Cook on high with a tea towel under the lid to stop moisture dripping on top. Cook for approx 1.5 hours to 2 hours on high, then check if it is cooked through using a skewer in the deepest part of the cake. If needed cook for another half an hour then check again, repeat as needed.
  • Turn the cake out onto a rack to cool, or serve it warm right from the pot, with custard or ice cream!
