Ingredients for Cherry Dump Cake<\/h2>\n
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the cherry pie filling into the dish and spread the filling evenly with a spatula.<\/p>\n Sprinkle the bag of white cake mix evenly over the top of the filling. Gently press the cake mix into the pie filling, evening it out further with your hands.<\/p>\n Combine the melted butter and almond extract. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the cake mix.<\/p>\n Bake the cake until the top is set and the filling is bubbly, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool the dump cake at room temperature on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Scoop out individual servings into a bowl while the cake is still warm and top with vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n To store any leftovers, first let the dump cake with cherry pie filling cool to room temperature. Depending on how much is left, wrap the pan in storage wrap or transfer any little bit to an airtight container. Keep the dump cake in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave to warm up the cherry filling and soften the cake topping.<\/p>\n Yes! If you tried our pineapple upside-down dump cake<\/a> and loved it, you can also convert this recipe for cherry dump cake into a slow-cooker recipe. Melt the butter, and mix in the almond extract. Pour 1\/2 cup butter mixture into the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker. Top with cherry pie filling and cake mix, then drizzle the rest of the butter mixture over the cake mix. Cook, covered, on high for two hours.<\/p>\n We highly recommend serving this cherry pie filling cake with scoops of vanilla ice cream. But if that\u2019s too rich for you, a light and airy sweetened whipped cream<\/a> is perfect. Brew a pot of coffee, pull fresh shots of espresso or make a batch of your favorite copycat coffee shop drinks<\/a> to serve alongside this cake. After-dinner drinks<\/a> like port or sherry make a perfect pairing as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No mixing bowl? No problem!
