Ingredients
Fruit Filling
- 42 ounces cherry pie filling (two 21-ounce cans)
Cake
- 15.25 ounces devil’s food cake mix (1 box)
- ¾ cup butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by coating it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add Cherry Filling: Pour both cans of cherry pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out to cover the entire base.
- Layer Cake Mix: Sprinkle the devil’s food cake mix evenly over the cherry pie filling layer, ensuring it covers the fruit filling completely.
- Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix layer. Try to cover as much of the cake mix as possible, even though some dry spots will remain, which will help create a crisp, golden crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Bake until the edges are bubbly and the top of the cake is dry and slightly browned.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped topping for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Do not stir the layers once assembled; the cake is meant to ‘dump’ bake.
- For variation, try substituting the cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like blueberry or peach.
- To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free cake mix.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to prevent burning, especially when pairing with ice cream.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
