Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional addition for flavor)
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 the filling evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry filling layer. Do not mix the layers.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer. If you are using vanilla extract, mix it into the melted butter before drizzling.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Remove the dump cake from the oven and let it 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 warm fruit dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an enhanced experience.
- If you want a slightly crispier topping, you can add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts over the butter layer before baking.
