No oven needed...this moist, cake like gingerbread slow cooks to give you irresistible taste and aroma.  Dried cherries and vegetable juice make this classic recipe even better!

Directions

Spray a 4-quart slow cooker with vegetable cooking spray.

Stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt and allspice in a medium bowl.

Place the butter and brown sugar into a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is creamy. Beat in the eggs and molasses.

Reduce the speed to low.  Alternately beat in the flour mixture and the vegetable juice. Stir in the cherries. Pour the batter into the cooker.
