Equipment
- 9×13 Baking Dish
- Mixing Spoon or Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Nonstick Spray
- Oven
- Sifter
Ingredients
- 1/3 cups Maraschino Cherry Juice
- 2 cans Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 tsp Almond Extract
- 3/4 cup Salted Butter
- 1 box Yellow Cake Mix
- Vanilla Ice Cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Use nonstick spray to coat a 9×13 baking dish.
- Pour the cherry pie filling into the baking dish.
- Add the maraschino cherry juice and almond extract. Mix it well to make a smooth layer
- Evenly sprinkle the cake mix over the filling.
- Pour the melted butter all over, covering as much of the cake mix as you can.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until it's golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow it to sit for 15 minutes.
- Serve it as is or with some vanilla ice cream if you like!
Notes
- Drizzle melted butter over any areas of dry cake mix that remain after baking, and return to the oven for a further minute or two if necessary.
- The components should not be stirred. Throw everything into the pan at once.
- The crock pot is another viable option for this. Cook for four hours on low heat or two hours on high heat.
- Many people find that adding pineapple makes it even tangier. Do what makes you happy; for me, it adds too much acidity.
- Black forest dump cakes can be made with a box of chocolate cake mix.
- Use a high-quality yellow cake mix for the best results in your Cherry Dump Cake.
