Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 1 can (21 oz / 595 g) cherry pie filling

Cake and Chocolate

  • 1 package (15.25 oz / 432 g) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips, divided

Liquids and Fats

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick / 113 g) melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 22×30 cm (9×13 inch) baking pan to ensure easy removal of the cake.
  2. Place the ingredients: Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the bottom of the greased pan. Next, sprinkle half of the milk chocolate chips over the filling. Pour the dry chocolate cake mix evenly on top of the cherry layer without shaking or mixing it in. Slowly drizzle the milk over the dry cake mix to moisten it. Then, pour the melted butter evenly over the surface. Finally, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Avoid stirring the layers to keep the classic ‘dump cake’ texture.
  3. Bake the cake: Place the prepared pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The top should become puffed and slightly crispy while the bottom remains soft and saucy.
  4. Serve: Allow the cake to rest for 10 to 15 minutes after baking to set slightly. Serve warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, add a handful of mini marshmallows or one tablespoon of cocoa powder before baking.
  • Substitute cherry pie filling with raspberry or blackberry filling if preferred.
  • Do not stir the layers after adding ingredients to maintain the typical dump cake texture.
