How do you make Cherry Dump Cake?
This cake is a real breeze to make. Start by buttering the bottom and sides of your baking dish. Then pour the crushed pineapple into the dish and spread it out evenly. Now pour the cherries in and spread them out evenly. Next evenly sprinkle with coconut and pecans. Then sprinkle the cake mix on as evenly as you can. Finally drizzle with butter and bake. It is just that simple. I told you it was ten minutes at the most.
Helpful tips for making Cherry Dump Cake
- If you don’t like pineapple double up on the cherries.
- For flavor variations, you can switch out the cherry pie filling for other fruit filling like blueberry, peach, strawberry, or apple pie filling. Or use a chocolate cake mix for a black forest dump cake
- If you don’t like pecans try chopped walnuts or sliced almonds.
- The melted butter will not cover the whole top of the cake mix but just do your best when drizzling it. It will all come out just fine.
- This can be assembled in the crockpot and cooked on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
