When I was growing up, the smell of this bread greeted me as I walked in the door from school. I thought everyone baked bread in a slow cooker. Like my grandmother and mother, my daughters and I now bake this glorious comfort food. —Bonnie Geavaras, Scottsdale, Arizona

sounds good-anyone consider or try making it in soup cans or veggie cans? might be easier to fit into the slow cooker
The flavor of this bread/cake is quite good. However, the recipe leaves out an important step, the addition of water in order to create steam. We attempted to make this recipe as written, and after 4 1/2 hours in a slow cooker it was still not completed. We added an inch of water, and it was done within an hour. We recommend covering the top with foil, sealing it with a rubber band, and adding an inch or two of water to help with heat distribution and proper cooking.
I am having trouble finding a 2 quart dish that fits in my Slow-cookers (I have 3 of them) I made it with a 1-1/2 qt dish, while it tasted great, it looked as though it would have risen more if it was in the right size dish.
