  7. Top with chocolate shavings if you'd like.

Notes

  • Use different cake mixes for a different flavor combination.  S box of yellow cake mix, white cake mix or even butter pecan cake mix are all good choices.2. You can also play around with the fruit filling. Swap the cherry filling for crushed pineapple, apple pie filling, peach pie filling, strawberry pie filling, blueberry pie filling, etc. 3. You can even add drained pineapple with the cherries for a cherry pineapple dump cake recipe.4. For a flavor boost, a few drops of vanilla extract or almond extract can ramp up the taste.5. Toss in some chopped nuts for a crunchy element. Sprinkle sliced almonds, chopped walnut or chopped pecans on top of the fruit mixture before sprinkling the cake mix. You can even sprinkle with coconut flakes.
  • Refrigerate: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze: Cool fully before wrapping in plastic wrap and freezing. Thaw on the counter and reheat before serving.
  • Reheat: To warm like it's right out of the oven, place it on a microwave safe plate and heat at 50% power level for 30 seconds to one minute.
