Key Ingredients

Cake Mix: For this recipe, I used a box cake mix – Betty Crocker Super Moist yellow cake mix. You may also want to try my Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake.

Cherry Pie Filling: Find this on the baking aisle, be sure it doesn’t say lite or sugar free.

Salted Butter: This will be melted and poured over the top to help make the cakey layer.

White Chocolate Chips: One of the other highlights of this recipe is the chocolate chip finish on top. It adds the right amount of sweetness without being too overbearing.

Sarah’s Tips & Variations

Cake mix Swap: Can use any cake mix of your choice, white, spice or chocolate are great choices. We’ve even used lemon!

Filling Change: Blueberry or Apple Pie filling can be swapped for the cherry filling.

Condensation: If you are worried about condensation, dding a clean kitchen towel or a couple of paper towels between the lid and the slow cooker. Though, there isn’t enough in this recipe that I think this is necessary.

Gluten Free or Sugar Free: You can use gluten-free or sugar-free cake mix with this recipe, it works great.

How to serve:

  • A (generous) scoop of cherry dump cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream is one the best ways to serve this amazing dessert.
  • You can also get creative with the toppings by adding whipped cream, extra cherries, crushed pecans, or even a dash of ground cinnamon.
  • Don’t hesitate to serve this dessert as-is too.

    I have a 10 quart oval crock. Can I double this recipe?

      I have not tested, sometimes when desserts are doubled they don’t set well in the middle.
