½ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream

Instructions
Prepare Your Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Cook the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours.
