Method
Cake: Place insert of 5- to 6-quart (5 to 6 L) oval slow cooker on sheet of parchment paper. Adding 2 inches (5 cm), trace around bottom; cut out shape. Grease insert; line with parchment paper cutout.
In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and oil until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon zest, orange zest, lemon juice and vanilla.
In separate bowl, whisk together flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir into butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk and yogurt, making 3 additions of flour mixture and 2 of buttermilk and yogurt. Scrape into prepared slow cooker, smoothing top. Cover and cook on high until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, about 2 hours. Turn off slow cooker; uncover.
Citrus Glaze: Whisk together icing sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice until smooth; brush over hot cake. Let cool, uncovered, in slow cooker for 15 minutes.
Using parchment paper, lift out cake onto rack; let cool completely.
