BLACK FOREST DUMP CAKE

BLACK FOREST DUMP CAKE — All you need are a few simple ingredients–like a chocolate cake mix and some cherry pie filling–to make this easy decadent chocolate cherry dessert
Sometimes, I crave a rich, chocolate dessert, but I just don’t have the energy to do anything time-consuming or fancy. Enter the Black Forest Dump Cake.
Talk about a delicious, no-effort dessert. This cake is so easy, I had my boys put it together while I made dinner. That’s the beauty of the dump cake.



It really is as simple as dumping a few ingredients into a pan. I popped this cake in the oven when we sat down to eat and an hour later, dessert was served.
Although the chocolate chips are optional in this recipe, I think the vanilla ice cream is an absolute must. And honestly, who is going to say  no to more chocolate?
Now I always keep the ingredients for this recipe on hand so I can make it for last minute company, or whenever a dessert craving strikes!
All you need are a few simple ingredients–like a chocolate cake mix and some cherry pie filling–to make this easy decadent chocolate cherry dessert.

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 (20 oz.) cans cherry pie filling

  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350° degrees. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Dump the cherry pie filling into prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the unprepared cake mix evenly over the cherry pie filling.
  3. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix and sprinkle with chocolate chips, if using.
