Cherry Dump Cake Ingredients
- 2 cans (21 ounces each) cherry pie filling

- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Cherry Dump Cake Instructions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Next, prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cherry pie filling, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer, making sure to cover as much of the dry mix as possible. If you’re using nuts, sprinkle them over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown, and the filling is bubbly around the edges. Allow the dump cake to cool slightly before serving; this helps the filling thicken a bit.
Serve warm, and for an extra touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Revel in the simplicity and deliciousness of this cherry dump cake – a versatile and fuss-free dessert that’s sure to be a hit. Feel free to customize it by using different pie fillings or adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before baking.
