Description
Make this Cherry Dump Cake for a warm, bubbly dessert that tastes like a cobbler but requires zero mixing. It is a simple, crowd-pleaser recipe perfect for potlucks or weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for variation)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the cherry filling. Do not mix the layers.
- If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the cake mix layer.
- Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the entire surface of the dry cake mix. You want to cover as much of the dry mix as possible.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Let the Easy Dump Cake cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute the yellow cake mix with white or butter cake mix.
- This recipe works well with other fruit fillings like apple or blueberry for a Quick Fruit Dessert variation.
- Serve this Warm Bubbly Dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
