I have got a delicious dessert to share with you today using Lucky Leaf’s Cherry Fruit Filling. I have yet to make a dessert in my slow cooker and I have been missing out! I couldn’t wait to test out this Cherry Chocolate Hot Fudge Cake out in the slow cooker. Cherry and chocolate is just meant to be together. The hidden cherries inside of the warm and gooey hot fudge cake is incredible.

Two photos side-by-side. One on the left-hand side has lucky with premium cherry fruit filling in topping can being dumped out into the slow cooker. This second photo on the right hand side is a wooden spoon stirring the cherry fruit filling in topping sauce.

The hot fudge sauce is magical. You pour it on the top of the dessert and let it work its magic as it cooks. It creates a gooey hot fudge sauce swirled throughout the cake as it slow cooks.

The house is filled with such a delicious chocolate aroma and it cooks so it is perfectly moist and tender. I have never had a more tender cake and the hidden cherries inside were definitely my favorite part. The hot fudge sauce swirled throughout makes the cake ooey and gooey and it makes the perfect warm and delicious dessert.

  1. What do you mean by “2 Tablespoons cup baking cocoa”?

    1 cup + 2 Tablespoons baking cocoa???

    I want to make this recipe but I’m not sure about the Hot Fudge Sauce.

    Thanks, Connie

    1. It is 2 cups baking cocoa for the hot fudge. I am not sure where you see 2 tablespoons + 1 cup. The 2 tablespoons above is not in the hot fudge ingredients that is for making the cake portion of this dessert.

    1. Hi Christine!
      It is supposed to say 2 cups baking cocoa! Thanks so much for bringing to my attention and I will get that changed now. Thanks for following along with me!

  2. It was a lovely dessert. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I made it in a 9×9″ pan and baked for 30+ minutes. Thank you!

    1. I would put it into a 9×9 inch pan and bake it at 350 degrees for 30 or so minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. ๐Ÿ™‚
