Ingredients
- 1 21-ounce can cherry pie filling
- 1 16-ounce bag frozen cherries
- 4 ounces cream cheese cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 15.25-ounce dry yellow cake mix
- 1/2-3/4 cup butter one stick, sliced into very thin slivers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 13 x 9 glass pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour in the canned cherry pie filling and the frozen cherries.
- Add the cream cheese pieces on evenly over the cherries.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix on evenly over the cherries and cream cheese layers. Gently shake the pan to get the cake mix to lay flat.
- Layer on the 1/2 cup of butter slices, covering as much of dry cake as possible.
- Put baking dish into the oven for 45-50 minutes. Halfway through baking check on the cake. If there are any dry cake areas, just add some more thin slices of butter to cover. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out with a few dry crumbs.
Notes
- Instead of thinly slicing the butter, you could grate the whole stick of butter with a grater or food processor to make smaller pieces to more thoroughly cover the cake.
- You could make this a cherry dump cake recipe with pecans or walnuts. I would add them on top of the butter layer. Broil right before taking cake out of the oven for just a minute or so.
- Do not stir any of the ingredients, just layer them.
- Use chocolate cake mix to make chocolate cherry dump cake.
