Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sweet potatoes in syrup, drained | 2 cans (29 oz each) |
| Yellow cake mix | 1 box (15.25 oz) |
| Unsalted butter, melted | ½ cup |
Directions
- Lightly grease a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Arrange the drained sweet potatoes evenly across the bottom, gently breaking apart any large pieces for an even layer.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the sweet potatoes. Do not stir.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
- Cover and cook on High for 2–3 hours or Low for 4–5 hours, until the topping is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Turn off the slow cooker and let the cobbler rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.
- Spoon into bowls and enjoy warm on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a splash of cream.
