SLOW-COOKER STRAWBERRY PUDDING CAKE

Slow-Cooker Strawberry Pudding Cake image

This recipe was created because of my love for strawberry cheesecake. I had these ingredients in my pantry and thought I'd give it a whirl. Wow, the flavors are just like strawberry cheesecake-only in a warm, comforting cake version. It's a whole lot easier than making cheesecake, too! -Lisa Renshaw, Kansas City, Missouri
