Ingredients for Cherry Cheese Dump Cake

- 2 cans (540mL each) cherry pie filling
- 1 (15.25oz.) yellow or white cake mix
- 1 (227g) tub whipped cream cheese
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Step by Step Instructions


STEP ONE – Preheat oven to 350°F.
STEP TWO – You will need a 9×13-inch baking dish for this recipe.
STEP THREE – Spray the bottom of the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
STEP FOUR – In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread out two cans of cherry pie filling. Try to spread out the filling as evenly as possible.

STEP FIVE – Drop dollops of the whipped cream cheese on top of the pie filling. This doesn’t have to be perfect even as you will be swirling it around in the next step, but try and space them out somewhat evenly. (I used a cookie scoop which made it quick and easy).
STEP SIX – Next, take a knife and give the cream cheese and cherry mixture a gentle swirl so that the cream cheese is not sitting entirely on top of the cherries.


STEP SEVEN – In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and dry cake mix. Mix with clean hands, or use a pastry blender. Mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
STEP EIGHT – Evenly sprinkle the cake mix and butter mixture over top of the cherry and cream cheese layer.
STEP NINE – Bake in 350°F oven for 50 to 55 minutes until golden brown and edges are bubbly.
STEP TEN – Serve plain or with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Storage Intructions
Cover with plastic wrap, or carefully transfer to airtight container for up to four days in the refrigerator.
