Okay, here’s my experience making a chocolate cherry dump cake in a Dutch oven:
So, I was lookin’ for a super easy dessert to make, and this chocolate cherry dump cake kept poppin’ up. Sounded simple enough, so I gave it a shot. I gathered all my stuff together, which was basically a couple of cans of cherry pie filling, a box of chocolate cake mix, some butter, and, of course, my trusty Dutch oven.
First, I preheated my oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While that was heatin’ up, I greased up the bottom of my Dutch oven. I just sprayed it real good with some non-stick cooking spray. You don’t want that cake stickin’, trust me.

Next, I opened up those cans of cherry pie filling and dumped them right into the Dutch oven. I spread it around a bit to make an even layer. It was lookin’ pretty good already!
Then, I took that box of chocolate cake mix and sprinkled it evenly over the cherry filling. I didn’t mix it or anything, just sprinkled it on top. It was a little messy, but that’s part of the fun, right?
After that, I cut up some butter into thin slices and laid them all over the cake mix. I used about a stick and a half, but you can use more or less dependin’ on how buttery you like it. I then popped the lid on my Dutch oven and slid it into the preheated oven.
-
Bake it for about 45 minutes to an hour. But I did have to keep an eye on it. You’ll know it’s done when the top is all bubbly and the cake mix is cooked through.
-
Once it’s done, take it out of the oven. Let it cool for a little bit before you dig in.
-
Serve it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream, and you’re good to go.
Results
Man, let me tell you, this dump cake was a hit! It was so easy to make, and it tasted like I spent hours in the kitchen. The cherries were sweet and tart, and the chocolate cake was moist and delicious. The buttery topping just brought the whole thing together. It was like magic, I swear! I will definitely be makin’ this again. Maybe next time I’ll try it with a different pie filling, like apple or blueberry. The possibilities are endless!
This is my story about how I made the chocolate cherry dump cake, hope you like it!
