Print Recipe

Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake is a quick and delicious dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and cherries in a simple, no-fuss recipe. This dessert is perfect for those who want to impress with minimal effort. It’s made by “dumping” ingredients into a baking dish, resulting in a warm, gooey treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix (preferably Devil’s Food cake mix)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the base: Spread the cherry pie filling evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Add the cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the cherry filling. Do not stir.
  • Top with butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. The butter should cover the dry cake mix as best as possible.
  • Add optional toppings: If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts over the top.
  • Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
  • Cool and serve: Let the cake cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • This dessert is incredibly versatile, and you can substitute the cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like blueberry, peach, or apple.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder to the top before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
