Crock Pot Cherry Spoon Cake - Recipes That Crock! (2024)

This Crock Pot Cherry Spoon Cake Recipe couldn’t be easier! Just toss three simple ingredients in a slow cooker before dinner and when everyone is done eating, you will have a yummy dessert just begging for a scoop of your favorite ice cream!

I found the inspiration for this recipe in Gooseberry Patch’s newHometown Harvest Cookbook.Truth be told, when I saw the original recipe entitled Minister’s Delight, it totally reminded me a lot of Papaw’s Campfire Cobblerso I knew the family would love it!

Papaw’s Campfire Cobbler has quite the reputation around the horse riding campgrounds around these parts. He makes his own “slow cooker” with his cast iron dutch oven and some fresh coals from the fire.

Just like Papaw’s Campfire Cobbler, this recipe for Crock Pot Cherry Spoon Cake calls for three simple ingredients: Your favorite Pie Filling, a Cake Mix and a stick of Butter.

Note: These recipes typically call for Yellow Cake Mix, but I am not a yellow cake mix fan…so I almost always opt for White Cake Mix.

What results is a fantastic dessert that you can spoon out to friends and family.
