Cherry Dump Cake
This easy Cherry Dump Cake combines sweet cherry pie filling, a buttery cake mix topping, and a touch of brown sugar for a delightful, fuss-free dessert. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch!
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow or white cake mix
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling (or 4 cups of homemade cherry pie filling)
- 2 tbsp Carob fruit syrup or agave syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Evenly spread the cherry pie filling over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If you're using fresh cherries, toss them with a little sugar before adding them to the dish.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cherry filling. Do not mix; allow the cake mix to rest on top.
- Drizzle the melted butter and caramelized sugar evenly over the cake mix, making sure it covers most of the mix for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and bubbling. The edges should be slightly crisp, which is ideal!
- Allow the dump cake to cool for a few minutes. Serve it warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
