Ingredients

  • 2 cans cherry pie filling 21-ounce cans
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract optional
  • 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 ounce box
  • ¾ cup salted butter thinly sliced (1 ½ sticks)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
  • Add the almond extract to the pie filling and mix well. Skip this step if you aren’t using almond extract.
  • Spread the pie filling into an even layer in a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pie filling and smooth into an even layer with the back of a spoon.
  • Arrange the slices of butter over the top of the cake mix.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  • Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Do not prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Use the dry cake mix only in this recipe. 
  • Replace the cherry pie filling with blueberry, strawberry, or apple pie filling to change the flavor.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup of sliced almonds over the cake mix before adding the butter to add a nutty crunch to the cake. 
  • Make this a chocolate cherry dump cake by replacing the yellow cake mix with a chocolate cake mix.
