Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, following all your instructions:
Alright, folks, so I tried this “crock pot chocolate cherry dump cake” thing I saw floating around. Sounded easy enough, and I’m all about easy desserts. Let me tell you how it went, step by step.
First, I grabbed my trusty slow cooker. I’ve had this thing for years, and it’s never let me down. I didn’t bother greasing it or anything, because, honestly, who has time for that? The recipe said you could skip it, and I’m a big fan of skipping steps.
Getting Started
Then, I dumped in a can of cherry pie filling. Just plopped it right in there, no mixing, no fussing. I used the kind with the extra cherries, because why not? More cherries, more better, right?
Next, I took a box of chocolate cake mix. Devil’s food, because that’s what I had in the pantry. I sprinkled that dry mix right over the top of the cherries. I tried to spread it out evenly, but it wasn’t perfect. No biggie, it’s a dump cake, it’s supposed to be a little messy!
Adding Some Extras
I had some chocolate chips in the cupboard, so I threw a handful of those on top. I mean, you can never have too much chocolate, am I right? Plus some butter! Cut in slices, then put them on top!
Slow Cooking Time
- Covered the slow cooker.
- Set it to low.
- Walked away.
I think I let it cook for about 4 hours, because that said on somewhere. Honestly, I lost track of time because I was binge-watching something on Netflix. The house started to smell amazing, though, so that’s how I knew it was probably ready.
The Final Result
I scooped some out into a bowl, and it was warm, gooey, and delicious. The cake was moist, the cherries were sweet, and the chocolate chips were all melty. It was kind of like a cobbler, but with cake instead of biscuit topping.
I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, because, again, why not? It was the perfect finishing touch. The cold ice cream with the warm cake? Perfection!
So, yeah, that’s my crock pot chocolate cherry dump cake adventure. It was super easy, super tasty, and I’ll definitely be making it again. Two thumbs up from me!
