This recipe is called "Minister's Delight" and I swear tasting it feels like divine intervention!


 Oh, friends—have I got a treat for you today that will tickle your taste buds and satisfy that sweet tooth with minimal effort! When life is as bustling as a bee and your sweet cravings hit like a train, Slow Cooker Minister’s Delight is your handy-dandy solution.

In my quest for recipes that sprinkle joy but don’t hog my meager moments, I stumbled upon this gem. Traditionally, Minister’s Delight (also cozily known as dump cake) was a heartwarming offering to visiting clergymen—simple, satisfying, and no fuss. Nowadays, it’s the perfect dessert calling your name after a long day’s work, needing just a few pantry staples tossed into Mr. Slow Cooker while you relax, unwind, or chase the kiddos.

Let’s get to it, shall we?

Minister’s Delight is a potluck star all on its own. However, if you want to elevate this comfort-on-a-plate, serve it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, a swoosh of whipped cream, or—dare I say—a light dusting of powdered sugar. Perfection.
Slow Cooker Minister’s Delight

Servings: 8
Ingredients

    1 box yellow cake mix

    1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling

    1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced into thin pieces

Directions

Directions

    First things first—grab your trusted slow cooker and give it a light spray with nonstick spray. We’re building foundations here—no stickage allowed.

    Pour the cherry pie filling into the slow cooker and spread it out to create a fruity, tempting base.

    Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry layer. No mixing! Layers are the name of the game in this delight.

    Place the thin butter slices on top of the cake mix, covering as much surface as possible. This is where the magic happens—the butter melts and mingles with the cake mix, creating a golden, crumbly crust. Bliss.

    Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours, until the top looks set and the edges begin to pull away slightly from the sides of the cooker.
