Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 can(s) cherry pie filling
6 oz chocolate chips
1 box any flavor chocolate cake
2 stick butter

Steps:

  • 1. Grease 13 x 9 pan Bake @ 350
  • 2. Add each ingredient in list order.
  • 3. Evenly distribute pats of butter over top.

Tips:

  • Use a 9x13 inch baking dish for this recipe. A larger or smaller dish will result in a cake that is too thin or too thick.
  • If you don't have a can of cherry pie filling, you can use fresh cherries. Just pit and slice them before using.
  • You can also use a different type of chocolate chips if you like. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips would be a good choice.
  • Be sure to use unsalted butter in this recipe. If you use salted butter, the cake will be too salty.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter on it, the cake needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.

This cherry chocolate dump cake is an easy and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it comes together in just a few minutes.
