How To Make Cherry Cheesecake Dump Cake
- Begin making this tasty dump cake recipe by preheating the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- While the oven preheats, prepare a 9×13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- After prepping the pan, pour the cans of cherry pie filling into the bottom of the pan and spread out the pie filling evenly with a spatula.
- Then use a spoon to drop small dollops of the whipped cream cheese over top of the cherry pie filling.
- Now, in a medium mixing bowl, mix together the package of dry cake mix (but not the cake mix added ingredients) with the melted butter with a fork until all of the cake mix is moistened by the butter and becomes more like a cumbly wet sand texture.
- Then, sprinkle the cake mix crumbles over top of the cream cheese as evenly as you can.
- Once you have all the cake mix layer ingredients in the pan, place the pan in the oven and bake the dump cake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top of the cake begins to turn a light golden color.
- Then remove the cake from the oven and let it cool down for a few minutes.
- Now just serve a scoop of this delicious cherry cheesecake dump cake in bowls, topped with either your favorite ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy!
- When you are done, store the cake in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat a piece in the microwave as you need, or even enjoy it cold!
Storing
Store covered in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can enjoy cold or reheat the cake in the microwave.
A dump cake is an American dessert similar to a cobbler but with a cake-like topping. It is so named because it is prepared by “dumping” ingredients (typically canned fruit or pie filling, followed by a boxed cake mix) into a cake pan without mixing.
Because of the cream cheese in the cake, we recommend that you keep leftovers covered in the fridge where they will keep for 3-4 days. You can serve the cake hot or cold – eat it cold from the fridge or reheat the cake in the microwave.
You can always make your own cake mix to use in this recipe!
