Chocolate Cherry Lava Cake Recipe
I still can’t get over how easy it was to create this recipe. The dessert turned out super moist with only a few ingredients. I can’t wait to make this again. Make this at camp has inspired me to try more recipes in the dutch oven. If you don’t have a fire pit you can easily make this on a charcoal grill.

Ingredients
- 1 14 oz can of Cherry pie filling
- 1 chocolate cake box mix
- 1 can of Coca Cola
- 8 oz of chocolate chips (more more if you like !)
- butter
Instructions
- Prepare the charcoal
- Line the dutch oven with a liner. We use a foil liner that we coated with butter
- Add cake mix to the dutch oven that is lined and buttered
- Slowly pour in can of Coke followed by the can of cherry pie filling
- Stir well before sprinkling chocolate chips on top
- Open the pie filling and dump it into the bottom of the dutch oven.
- Pour in the cherry pie filling – mix before adding the can of coke
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of cake mixture before putting the lid on to bake
- Put lid on dutch oven and carefully move over to the charcoal grill rake not directly in the coals on bottom.
- Place 16 charcoal on the lid of the oven.
- Make a circle of 8 charcoal that will serve as the base heat for baking the cake.
- Place the dutch oven over the circle and let the cake bake for approximately an hour and 30 minutes. We checked the cake at 1 hour
- Remove the dutch oven from the coals and let cool a little before serving in disposable camp bowls!
I still can’t believe how moist the cake was… perfect! My photo is a little grainy because we took it late at night. We had time to go enjoy the sunset at camp before serving this up.
