Servings: persons

1/2 cup cola
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate milk
1/2 cup butter, MELTED
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping
1 1/4 cups cola
1/3 cup sugar, granulated
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup dark rum
vanilla ice cream
maraschino cherry

1
In a small saucepan, bring cola and dried cherries to a boil.
2
Remove from heat; let stand for 30 minutes.
3
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, chopped chocolate, baking powder, and salt.
4
Melt butter in microwave, add the chocolate milk and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
5
Fold in cherry mixture.
6
Line a three quart slow cooker with liner or coat with cooking spray.
7
Pour mixture into slow cooker.
8
For topping, in a small saucepan, combine the cola, sugar, and brown sugar.
9
Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved.
10
Remove from the heat; stir in chocolate and rum until smooth.
11
Pour over cherry mixture; do NOT stir. This was very liquidy (sorry about the new word) but it works out.
12
Put a sheet of paper toweling between the slow cooker and lid to absorb the condensation. I changed mine once during the 2 hours.
13
Cover and cook on high for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until set. Mine was set in 2 hours BUT I have an old crock pot.
14
Turn off the heat; let stand for 30 minutes.
15
Serve warm with ice cream and maraschino cherries.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
