B. Cut waxed paper or parchment paper to fit bottom of slow cooker, and place in bottom of slow cooker.
Spray paper and sides of cookers interior with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour batter into preheated slow cooker.
Cover cooker with the lid slightly ajar to allow excess moisture to escape.
Cook on high for 1 3/4 - 2 hours,or on low for 3-4 hours or until edges are golden, and center comes out clean.
If you used a baking insert, or a coffee can, remove from cooker, and cool on a cake rack.
Let stand for 5 minutes before running knife around outer edge of cake and inverting onto serving plate.
If you baked the gingerbread directly in the cooker, cut the cake into wedges after allowing it to cool for 30 minutes, and carefully lift the wedges out of the cooker onto serving plates.
In a saucepan, mix together the 1/2 cup powdered sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Add lemon juice, and water, stirring with each addition.

If the gingerbread has been cooling on a rack, cut it into wedges.
To serve, top with sauce, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
