Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
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 prepared baking dish. Spread the filling evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry filling layer. Do not mix the layers.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer. You can pour it in lines or dots; the butter will spread as it bakes.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Remove the dump cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an extra gooey cherry dessert, you can add a teaspoon of almond extract to the cherry filling before baking.
- If you want a richer topping, substitute the yellow cake mix with white cake mix or even a spice cake mix.
- Serve this fast fruit dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
