  • Cherries
  • Yellow Cake Mix
  • Butter

How to Make 3 Ingredient Dump Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Evenly spread 21 ounces (one 21-ounce can) of your favorite pie filling (cherry, apple, blueberry – get creative!) into the prepared pan.
  3. Sprinkle an entire 15.25-ounce box of your favorite yellow cake mix over the pie filling. Don't worry about making it perfect!
  4. Drizzle 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
