Tips:

Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will give your dump cake the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
You can use any type of cream cheese you like. Regular cream cheese, whipped cream cheese, or even flavored cream cheese will all work well.
If you don't have yellow cake mix, you can use another type of cake mix. Chocolate cake mix, white cake mix, or even strawberry cake mix would all be good choices.
Be sure to grease your baking dish before adding the ingredients. This will help prevent the cake from sticking.
Bake the dump cake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
Let the dump cake cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dump cake with whipped cream, ice cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
