Cherry Dump Cake is a simple and delicious dessert featuring a sweet cherry pie filling topped with yellow cake mix and a buttery milk mixture, baked to golden perfection. It’s an effortless one-bowl cake perfect for any occasion, served warm with ice cream or whipped topping.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 42 ounces (2 cans, 21 ounces each) cherry pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cake Topping

  • 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix (dry, boxed)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine both cans of cherry pie filling with the vanilla extract. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading with a spatula to form an even layer.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the cherry filling layer, covering it completely.
  4. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a separate medium bowl, stir together the melted butter and whole milk until combined.
  5. Top Cake: Slowly pour the butter and milk mixture over the dry cake mix, making sure to cover the entire surface and avoid large dry spots. Use a spoon to gently push any dry cake mix pockets under the butter mixture without stirring the layers together.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 48 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. This cake is delicious on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Do not stir the layers; the cake topping will form a crust as it bakes over the filling.
  • You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings for different flavors.
  • Use melted butter for best results to ensure even moist topping.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving for easier slicing.
