Ingredients:
Cake
- 1 (15.24-ounce) box of cake mix
- 1 cup of water
- ½ cup of canola or vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 (20-ounce) jars of maraschino cherries, divided
Frosting
- ½ cup of salted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp of maraschino cherry juice
- 4-6 tbsp of milk
Directions:
Step 1
Chop 20 or more cherries roughly, then reserve the remaining cherries and some of the juice for later. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, oil, eggs, and water, then whisk everything together until combined and smooth, add the chopped cherries, and continue to mix until incorporated.

Step 2
Grease the slow cooker with a nonstick cooking spray, then pour in the batter, and spread it evenly. Place the lid, then let it cook on a high setting for about 2 hours and 15 minutes or until the center is done, and make sure to keep the lid on the entire cooking time to keep the heat in.
Step 34
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar, butter, milk, and cherry juice, then whisk them together until incorporated and combined, and add more milk until desired consistency. Pour the frosting on top of the cake, then spread it evenly, and garnish it with cherries. Serve and enjoy!
