Cherry Chocolate Dump Cake
Description
This dump cake starts by spreading cherry pie filling evenly in a greased 9x13 inch dish. A box of dark chocolate cake mix is then sprinkled over the filling without stirring, and melted unsalted butter is poured evenly on top, soaking into the mix during baking.
Baking at 350°F for 42 to 45 minutes yields a cake with a mostly dry, cakey top and bubbling fruit edges that signal doneness. The combination of tart cherry filling and rich chocolate cake mix layers creates a dense but tender dessert with balanced sweetness.
Allowing the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving helps it set slightly. It pairs well with cold whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, which complements the warm cake's richness and texture.
