Slow Cooker Cherry Dump Cake
I am not sure how long it’s been since I’ve wanted to make some of these popular dump recipes. This Crock-Pot Cherry Dump cake is my first “dumping” experience and it will definitely not be my last. I have held off for so long because every time I mention making a dump recipe, my hubby expresses his skepticism.

Well, the joke is on him! He was the first to dive into this super simple dessert. He could not even wait for me to get it plated, ha ha! This stuff is over the top amazing. Neither one of us could believe that something this good only required three simple ingredients and just 2 hours in the slow cooker.
The three simple ingredients are pie filling, cake mix, and butter. I am sure this recipe would work great with any pie filling (we plan to give others a try). The cherry pie filling was a perfect blend though.
INGREDIENTS
1 box Yellow Cake Mix
42 oz Cherry Pie Filling (2 cans)
1/2 cup melted Butter
DIRECTIONS
Combine melted butter and cake mix in a bowl. Mix until well distributed.
Grease slow cooker.
Spread contents of both cans of cherries on bottom of slow cooker.
Crumble batter mixture over top of cherries.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
I plan to have this recipe on our dessert list quite frequently. I like how simple the recipe is. The kids could even make this dump cake. I would have slaved for hours though to make a dessert that tastes this good. Trust me… you must make this one.
Have you made dump desserts or meals? I am thinking we will be trying more of them since this recipe was so much more than we expected it to be.

Looking for other Cherry filled recipes? Be sure to see these that I have shared…
How do u get it out of crockpot in one piece? Guess I would have to spoon it out.
I have this in the crockpot now, the topping does not look like the picture. It has not browned at all, very mushy.
Mine is looking the same way. Did you use the slow cooker liner? I did, this is my first time with cooking a dump cake, I’m not sure if it’s because of the liner or what, but my cake crumble still looks exactly like when I first put it on…maybe it’s my crock pot…jeez.
Did you have any luck with it?

Thanks for sharing your recipe! I found your post at iNspire Me Monday.
I love dump cakes especially in the crockpot I ca hardly wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.
A perfect dessert for summer! I love cherry desserts but hate heating up the kitchen by baking anything when it’s hot already. Slow cooker desserts are just brilliant for this time of year!
