Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling, or 4 cups of homemade cherry pie filling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow or white cake mix
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup, optional
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- Optional toppings: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix the brown sugar into the cherry pie filling. Spread the filling evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cherries without stirring; leave it as is.
- Mix the melted butter with the agave syrup. Pour the mixture over the cake mix, trying to cover as much of the mix as possible. You can use the bottom of a spoon to gently push the melted butter over dry areas but you do not need to cover then entire top of the cake.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The edges might be slightly crisp.
- Allow the dump cake to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
