This Cherry Chocolate Dump Cake is the kind of dessert you make when you want something rich and chocolatey without putting in a lot of effort. Sweet cherry pie filling gets baked under a layer of Devil’s Food cake mix and melted butter for a warm, fudgy dessert that tastes even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
One of the best things about dump cakes is how simple they are. There’s no mixing bowl and no complicated steps. Just layer everything in the pan and bake. The cherries and chocolate bake together into a gooey, cake-like dessert with crisp edges and a soft center that’s hard to resist.
Helpful Tips
- Spread the melted butter as evenly as possible over the cake mix so there aren’t any dry patches after baking.
- If you want extra chocolate flavor, sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips over the cake mix before baking.
- Let the dump cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving so it has time to set slightly.
