Make this simple cherry dump cake using only three ingredients. You do not need a mixer or a bowl for preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly across the bottom.
  3. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry filling layer. Do not mix.
  4. Pour the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer. Again, do not mix.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
  6. Let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute the yellow cake mix with white cake mix or butter cake mix.
  • Serve this dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • If you want a slight variation, sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts over the butter layer before baking.
