Easy Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (20 ounces each) cherry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (Duncan Hines recommended)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

  1. Prep:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with some of the melted butter.
  2. Layer the Filling:
    • Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  3. Add Cake Mix:
    • Evenly sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the cherry pie filling. Gently tap or shake the baking dish to ensure an even layer of cake mix.
  4. Top with Butter:
    • Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer. It’s fine if there are a few dry spots; the butter will spread as it bakes.
  5. Bake:
    • Place the dish in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are bubbly and the top is set and slightly crispy.
  6. Serve:
    • Enjoy the dump cake warm, paired perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.

This Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake is the epitome of easy and delicious desserts, perfect for any occasion that calls for a sweet, fruity, and chocolatey treat.
