Cherry Dump Cake
Cherry dump cake is one of the easiest desserts to make! Whip up this crowd pleaser with cherry pie filling, yellow cake mix, and just a few extra simple ingredients.
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 2 cans cherry pie filling 21 ounces each
- ½ cup tart cherry juice see notes
- 1 teaspoon almond extract optional
- 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 ounces
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup sliced almonds optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray (1) 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the cherry pie filling, tart cherry juice, and almond extract to the pan, stirring to combine.
- Sprinkle the cake mix in an even layer over the cherry mixture. Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix. Sprinkle the almonds on top.
- Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
I prefer to buy the “extra fruit” pie filling when available.
If you don’t have tart cherry juice, you could use maraschino cherry juice, cranberry juice, or even water.
