The simplicity of these ingredients is what makes this dump cake recipe so easy and convenient.
Cherry Pie Filling: The primary flavor and moisture for the cake. The cherry pie filling contributes sweetness, a fruity flavor, and a moist texture to the finished dessert. It's the "cherry" element of the chocolate cherry combination.
Devil's Food Cake Mix: Provides the structure and chocolate flavor for the cake. The cake mix contains flour, sugar, cocoa, leavening agents, and other ingredients necessary to create a cake-like texture. It's the "chocolate" element of the dessert and adds convenience to the recipe.
Butter: Adds richness, moisture, and flavor to the cake. The melted butter helps to bind the dry cake mix together and creates a tender, moist crumb.
Here’s how to store and leftover Cherry Dump Cake and maintain its quality.
Allow the dump cake to cool for about 45 minutes before covering loosely with plastic wrap or foil before refrigerating. Store up to 4 days.
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish or 3-quart casserole with cooking spray.
Pour melted butter over the dry cake mix, tilting pan to cover as much of the top with butter as possible.
Dump cakes–such as our cherry dump cake–can sometimes be difficult to determine doneness. It’s normal to see some wet spots, some dry cake mix and a crisp-like texture on top. Be sure the fruit mixture is bubbly around the edges of pan.
