- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions:
- Mix It Up: Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another. Slowly mix the wet into the dry until you have a smooth, thick batter.
- Slow Cook It: Grease your slow cooker with a bit of butter or coconut oil, then pour in the batter. Set your slow cooker on low for 2 to 3 hours, depending on your slow cooker’s heat settings. The cake is done when it’s set in the middle but still moist.
