1. Prepare the Cake Batter:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the confetti cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined, following the instructions on the box.

2. Prepare the Crock pot:

• Lightly grease the bottom and sides of the crock pot with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

3. Cook the Cake:

• Pour the cake batter into the crock pot, spreading it evenly.

• Cover the crock pot with the lid, but place a paper towel under the lid to catch condensation. This prevents moisture from dripping onto the cake.

• Cook on low for 2.5 to 3 hours or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. Prepare the Vanilla Frosting:

• In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.

• Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

• Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk. Continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. If needed, add the remaining tablespoon of milk to reach the desired consistency.

5. Frost and Serve:

• Once the cake is done, turn off the crock pot and allow the cake to cool slightly in the crock pot.

• Carefully remove the cake and place it on a serving plate.

• Spread the vanilla frosting over the top of the cake.

• Add sprinkles on top for decoration, if desired.

6. Enjoy:

• Slice the cake and enjoy your delicious crock pot confetti cake with vanilla frosting!

This method creates a moist and fluffy cake, with the convenience of using a crock pot.
