Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix (do not mix)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the cherry filling. Do not stir or mix the layers.
- Distribute the small pieces of butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Let the dump cake cool slightly before serving warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- This recipe is the definition of minimal ingredient baking; you can add a cup of chocolate chips on top of the cherry layer for a chocolate cherry dump cake variation.
- If you prefer a slower, more hands-off method, you can cook this as a slow cooker cherry dump cake on low for 3 to 4 hours.
- For a richer topping, substitute the butter with 1/2 cup of melted butter poured evenly over the dry mix instead of slicing it.
