Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix (do not mix)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
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 it out evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry pie filling layer. Do not stir or mix the layers.
- Arrange the pieces of butter evenly over the top of the dry cake mix layer.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Let the dump cake cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute the yellow cake mix with white cake mix or even a butter pecan cake mix.
- If you want a crispier topping, try using only 1/2 cup of butter instead of the full stick, or use cold butter cut into very thin slices.
- This recipe is great for potlucks because it travels well and requires no mixer.
