This slow cooker lightened up pumpkin cake is the perfect cozy dessert for fall and the holiday season—warm, spiced, and incredibly easy to make!

With just a few simple ingredients like pumpkin purée, kodiak pancake mix or flour, eggs, and classic spices like cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, this recipe comes together in minutes and then bakes to perfection right in your slow cooker. The result is a moist, fluffy cake with rich pumpkin flavor and comforting seasonal aromas that fill your kitchen as it cooks. No oven required, no complicated steps—just set it and forget it. Top it with a drizzle of sugar free caramel or a dollop of whipped cream, and you’ve got a crowd-pleasing treat. If you’re looking for a foolproof dessert that tastes like you spent hours baking, this is the one to try.

What ingredients do I need to make this slow cooker lightened up pumpkin cake?

• All-purpose flour-or you could also use Kodiak Cakes Pancake Mix or gluten free flour, if preferred.
• White granulated sweetener – to sweeten the cake. I use Lakanto white granulated sweetener.
• Baking powder– makes the cake rise. You will omit 1 tsp if you use Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Mix
• Pumpkin pie spice- for flavor.
• Cinnamon-for additional flavor.
• Pumpkin puree – canned. 100% pumpkin puree.
• Milk of your choice – I love using Fairlife skim milk for the added protein.
• Light butter-melted. The butter gives the cake a nice creamy flavor and caramelizes the top of the cake. I like to use Land O’Lakes light butter made with canola oil.
• Vanilla extract– for flavor.

Mix until combined. 

In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract.
