Pint-Size 3 Ingredient Xmas Cake-Birdy
www.slowcookercentral.com/recipe/pint-size-3-ingredient-xmas-cake
Lovely little fruit cake perfect for a Christmas gift or morning tea. Modified version of the 3 ingredient Christmas fruit cake. Fits perfectly in the 1.5L (1.5 quart) slow cooker
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 2 hrs
Yields: 8 small slices or 4 large slices
300gm (2/3 lb.) mixed dried fruit
300ml liquid (1 1/4 cups) (I used 200ml chocolate milk 100ml Baileys)
1 cup Self Rising flour
Soak dried mixed fruit in container overnight with 300mls of chosen liquid.
Sift 1 cup SR flour into the mixture bit by bit until combined.
Grease 1.5L slow cooker bowl with butter and coat in flour or line with baking paper.
Pour mixture into SC.
Cook for 2 hrs on high with tea towel under the lid (turning the bowl occasionally to avoid any hot spots)
NOTE:
One person commented that they had some scorching around the edges when cooked on high directly in the bowl and was planning to try cooking it longer on the low setting instead.
You can substitute the liquid for anything you like! Rum + orange juice, iced coffee, etc.
Iced coffee = bottled coffee drink which comes with with sweetener and creamer
Also, one person used black tea and sherry

Other suggestions—apricot nectar, pineapple juice
To line and bake in the crock directly, crumple and flatten parchment paper several times to make it more flexible before lining the crock.
Untested: If using a larger slow cooker, you could set a 1.5 L bowl or pan inside with water coming up half way. An 8"x4" loaf pan holds 1.5L if it would fit in the slow cooker.
