Ingredients
– 1 box of yellow cake mix
– 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
– 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced into thin pieces
Directions
1. First things first—grab your trusted slow cooker and give it a little spray with non-stick spray. We’re building foundations here—no stickage allowed.
2. Pour the cherry pie filling into the slow cooker. Spread it out to create a fruity, tempting base.
3. Now, sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly on top of the cherry layer. No mixing, you hear? Layers are the name of the game in this delight.
4. Next, place those thin butter slices on top of the cake mix, covering as much cakey territory as you can. This is where the magic happens—the butter will melt and mingle with the cake mix, creating a golden, crumbly crust. Bliss.
5. Put the lid on your slow cooker, set it to low, and forget about it for about 3-4 hours. What you’re aiming for is a cake that’s golden and has edges pulling away slightly from the cooker.
Variations & Tips
– Fancy a change-up? Swap cherry for blueberry, apple, or even peach pie filling. The Minister’s Delight is not one for monotony!
– If you’re in the mood for nuts, throw a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts over the cake mix before adding the butter. This’ll add a delightful crunch.
