Firstly, put your slow cooker on high, add in a large, greased bowl and then cut a square of grease proof paper and tin foil to go inside. 

In a separate bowl, cream together 125g of butter, 110g of sugar, a few drops of vanilla essence, two eggs, and then fold in 225g of self-raising flour. 

Add a small amount of milk to get a soft mixture. 

Then, head back to the bowl in the slow cooker, and add a dessert spoon of jam, marmalade or stewed fruit in the bottom on top of the grease proof paper and foil.  

Ingredients for jam sponge pudding made in a slow cooker

  • 125g of butter
  • 110g of sugar
  • vanilla essence
  • two eggs
  • milk
  • 25g of self-raising flour
  • jam
  • optional - marmalade/stewed fruits

Pour the cake mix on top, filling around three quarters of the bowl. 

Then, fold over the grease proof paper and foil over the top of the mixture so it is fully contained. 

Fill the slow cooker around the bowl with boiling water, so it reaches half up the outside of the pudding bowl, and add the lid. 

Cook on high for two and a half hours or until the cake is fully cooked, and then spoon on two tablespoons of melted jam on top. 

Voila! Your jam pudding is complete and ready to tuck into.
