Very rich, but oh my goodness!! Great as is, but I also tried with a wild cherry flavored water and maraschino cherries and it tasted just like chocolate covered cherries. Delicious!!

I don't know that I'd crave this again, but it was good. I made it in my 5 Qt slow cooker, so it cooked faster (hour and halfish I think) and then I still let it sit the 30 minutes. I left out the rum. It was super moist--wet, actually, but yummy. It was not pretty, but I wouldn't expect a cake cooked in a crock pot to be pretty.

Like the old hot fudge sundae cake, this is moist and filling, but better. I reduced the sugar by about 1/3, used chocolate chips instead of the chopped chocolate, and substituted cherry cola for the regular cola. Needing it in a hurry, I baked it in a 2-quart covered casserole dish and baked at 375 for about 45 minutes. It was a huge hit with my husband and his coworkers. Thanks for sharing this version!

This cake is over the top rich. If I ever made it again I would forego the topping and just make the cake itself. That being said, it is sloppy looking when served up right away, and down right terrible looking as a leftover.

I have friends who enjoy coming for dinner when I am trying a new recipe as I did last night. This dessert was not only delicious but fun to make. Very much like a lava cake. Next time I might substitute rum for more cola.It was a hit!

My kids made this for supper the other night and it was good. I didn't have any dried cherries on hand, but used marachino cherries instead. We also substituted the cherry juice for the rum and the cake turned out fine. I will admit that it is pretty sweet, but being that sweet made sticking to portion sizes easier. As my grandma would say, "A little dab will do ya." Thanks for sharing!

My 13 yr. old grandson found this recipe and wanted to try it. Since it is so easy to make, I let him make it. He used mini morsels instead of grating the chocolate, cherry cola (because that's what we had on hand) and no rum. The kids loved it, and he was so proud to have made our dessert! It was a little rich for me, but will make it again for the family.

My teenage boys liked it, but way too sweet for me. Also doesn't look so appetizing left over. Next time I'll make it for a crowd to be eaten all at once.

Very good. I substituted the amaretta because I had it on hand. My husband, who is not a big sweets fan even loved it. He liked the subtle chocolate flavor with the cherries. I may add more cherries because they were so good.

It was easy enough to make, but way over the top rich! WOW! I didn't include the rum since I don't drink. It smelled wonderful while cooking but just way too sweet.
