Cherry Dump Cake: A Slow Cooker Delight

Ingredients:

How To Make Cherry Dump Cake

1. Step 1: Slow Cooker Prep (Choose one filling option):
   • Canned Filling: Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling into the bottom of your slow cooker.
   • Homemade Filling (optional):
     • In a saucepan, heat the pitted cherries over medium heat until their juices begin to release.
     • Stir in the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
     • Continuously whisk the mixture over low heat until the filling thickens.
     • Pour the homemade cherry filling into the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Step 2: Cake Mix Layer: Sprinkle the entire box of yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry filling in the slow cooker.
3. Step 3: Buttery Topping: Pour the melted butter over the cake mix layer, distributing it evenly.
4. Step 4: Slow Cooker Magic: Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 3 hours. The cake will bake and the cherry filling will bubble up.
5. Step 5: Golden Goodness & Serve: After 3 hours on high, the cake should be golden brown on top, indicating it’s finished baking. Scoop out the warm cherry dump cake and serve it directly from the slow cooker.

Optional Twist: For an extra decadent treat, add 21​ cup of white chocolate morsels to the cake mix layer before pouring in the melted butter.
