Description

Satisfy your sweet tooth with this easy Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake, featuring luscious layers of chocolate and tart cherries for a mouthwatering dessert experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
  2. Evenly distribute the cherry pie filling across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are lumps.
  4. Pour the cake batter over the cherry filling, spreading it gently with a spatula if needed.
  5. Generously sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
