Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 can peach pie filling
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- Open the can of cherry pie filling and spread it evenly across the bottom of the baking dish, creating the first layer of fruit.
- Next, carefully pour the peach pie filling over the cherry layer, spreading it gently to create a second fruit layer that covers the entire bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the fruit layers to add a warm, aromatic flavor to the dessert.
- Open the yellow cake mix and pour the dry mix directly over the fruit layers, ensuring it covers the entire surface uniformly.
- Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, making sure to cover as much of the dry mix as possible. The butter will help create a golden, crispy top.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the dump cake cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the fruit filling to set and makes cutting easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
Tips
- Use Quality Fruit Fillings: For the best flavor, choose high-quality cherry and peach pie fillings. You can even use homemade fillings if you have them on hand for an extra touch of freshness.
- Experiment with Spices: While cinnamon adds a wonderful warmth, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or even a dash of vanilla extract to elevate the flavor profile of your dump cake.
- Don’t Skimp on Butter: Drizzling the melted butter evenly over the cake mix is crucial. It helps create that irresistible crispy topping that makes dump cake so delicious!
- Serve Warm: This dessert is best served warm, so be sure to let it cool slightly before serving. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly decadent experience.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the fruit layers and cake mix in advance, storing them separately in the fridge. Just assemble and bake when you’re ready to serve!
