Slow Cooker Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake
This dessert combines the rich flavors of chocolate and cherries, creating a scrumptious cake that practically cooks itself in the slow cooker. It is an excellent choice for those who crave something decadent without the fuss of traditional baking.
Ingredients
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1 package (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup cold water
- Whipped cream or ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Start by greasing the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the cherry pie filling into the bottom of the slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
- In a bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and cold water. Stir until well mixed, but do not overmix.
- Gently pour the cake batter over the cherry filling in the slow cooker. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, if necessary.
- If you’re a chocolate lover, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the batter.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. The cake will be done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let your cake sit for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows it to set a bit.
- Serve warm with a scoop of whipped cream or ice cream on top for an extra indulgent treat!
This Slow Cooker Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. The combination of the rich chocolate and the tartness of the cherries is simply irresistible. Enjoy making this recipe, and I hope you love every bite!
