Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans cherry pie filling 21 oz each
- 1 box yellow cake mix (or white) 15.25 oz
- 1 cup salted butter, melted 2 sticks
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Evenly spread the cherry pie filling across the bottom of the dish, mixing in the almond extract until well distributed.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cherries without stirring, as the layers are crucial for a dump cake.
- Pour the melted butter over the dry cake mix as evenly as possible, ensuring to cover all areas, and add extra butter to any dry spots.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes until the top turns golden and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes to let the center set before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.
