How to Make Black Forest Spoon Dessert

  1. Preheat your slow cooker on high for 10 minutes.
  2. Lightly grease the slow cooker with nonfat cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling and 1 (15.25 ounce) box chocolate cake mix. Stir until no dry cake mix remains. The batter will be thick and lumpy.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker.
  5. Place a paper towel on top of the slow cooker to absorb excess moisture.
  6. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 2 1/4 hours, or until a wooden skewer or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the dessert cool slightly in the slow cooker before serving.
  8. Serve directly from the slow cooker using spoons. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional).
  9. Do not invert this cake!
