Equipment

  • 1 baking dish 9 x 13 inch

Ingredients

  • - 1 can 21 ounces cherry pie filling (or 4 cups of homemade cherry pie filling)
  • - 1 box 15.25 ounces yellow or white cake mix
  • - ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbs carob fruit syrup or agave syrup
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • - Optional toppings: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Add Cherry Filling: Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If you’re using fresh cherries, mix them with a bit of sugar before adding them.
  • Add Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the cherry filling. Do not stir; let it sit on top.
  • Drizzle Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly and carob syrup over the top of the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the cake mix as possible for even baking.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and bubbly. The edges may be slightly crisp, which is perfect!
  • Cool and Serve: Let the dump cake cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
