As strange as it seems, this is a great recipe... especially in the middle of summer, [sigh], when you're cooking outside on the grill and you don't want to heat up the kitchen by using your oven. This dessert takes a little time to cook, so plan accordingly.
2/3 C. butter, softened to room temp
1 1/2 C.packed brown sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 C. flour
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 1/2 C. beer~ honey lager is great, but any will do.
1 C. chopped walnuts, optional
1 C. dried cranberries or raisins~ I used chocolate chips once with success.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time mix well. Add flour, soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg to creamy mixture alternately with beer. Stir in walnuts and raisins.
Pour mixture into well buttered and floured cake pan that will fit into crockpot. Cover tin with four or five paper towels. Put into pot. Put lid on crockpot loosely to allow steam to escape.
Cook on high for 3 1/2 hours or until cake is done, (test with toothpick).
Remove pan from pot and allow cake to cool on wire rack for 15 minutes before removing from pan.
Note: A old coffee can works great as a cakepan for this recipe!
