There are a few tricks to remember when "baking" in one of these pots.
First, turn the control to HIGH (or to the setting which is  equivalent
to the HIGH used in my recipes). The LOW setting is too  low to give
breads and cakes the texture you expect.  With breads,  remember to
cover the container with a lid or foil. Tie the lid or  foil onto the
container and place the container on a metal rack or  trivet inside the
pot. If you don't have a metal rack or trivet to  fit your slow cooker,
crumple foil and place it in the bottom of the  pot to support the
baking continer. Pour 2 cups of hot water around  the container to
provide steam for cooking the bread.  When using a deep-dryer type slow
cooker, check frequently to make  sure the water hasn't evaporated. Add
more water if needed.  As a rule, it is not a good idea to remove the
lid or foil from the  bread container during the first 2 hours of
cooking. After that,  check the bread by inserting a toothpick in the
mixture. If the  toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.  When
using a standard cake mix, the prcedure is slightly different.  Cakes
are "baked" in a pan set directly on the bottom of the slow  cooker,
similar to the way you would do it in an oven. It is not  necessary to
use a trivet or water.  Instead of covering the uncooked  cake misture
with foil or a lid, cover the top with four or five  layers of paper
towels. Becouse there is more moisture in a slow  cooker than in an
oven it is necessary to compensate for this with  the paper towels to
help absorb the moist top of the cake mix.  Also,  leave the lid of
your slow cooker slightly open to let extra moisture  escape.  The type
and kind of container to use for breads and cakes will  depend on the
size of your pot.  In addition to molds and coffee  cans, spring forms
or small bundt pans make excellent containers.  The containers at the
top hold approzimately the same amount of  batter so you can substitute
one for another.  From:CROCKERY COOKERY by Mable Hoffman's  Formatted
