Title: Cherry Pound Cake
Categories: Cheesecakes, Crockpot
Yield: 10 servings

16 oz Cake mix/pound cake
2/3 c Water
2 Eggs
20 Marachino cherries
; drained (20 to 30)
3 tb All-purpose flour

Turn the cake mix, water, and eggs into a large mixing
bowl and beat with an electric beater on low. In a small
bowl, combine the maraschino cherries with the flour. Toss
the cherries well in the flour so that all the moisture on
the cherries is absorbed. Pour the batter into a greased
and floured 2-quart mold or spring-form pan, Drop the
cherries into the batter from high enough up so they sink
into it. (This maneuver keeps all the cherries, which are
heavier than the batter, from sinking to the bottom of the
cake.) Place the pan in the slow cooker and cover with
a loosely fitting plate. Cover the pot, but prop the lid
open a fraction with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let
excess steam escape. Cook on High for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.
When a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes
out clean, the cake is done. Cool the cake on a rack for 10
to 15 minutes before you turn it out of the pan. Let it
cool thoroughly before serving. "Clear & Simple Crockery
