Easy Slow Cooker Cherry Dump Cake

Easy Slow Cooker Cherry Dump Cake 🍒🍰

This 3-ingredient dump cake is the ultimate lazy dessert—just dump, cook, and enjoy a warm, gooey, cherry-filled treat with a buttery golden topping!

Ingredients:

• 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling (or blueberry/apple for variation)

• 1 (15 oz) box yellow or white cake mix (dry, unprepared)

• ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted (or ½ cup coconut oil for dairy-free)

• Optional: ½ tsp almond extract or cinnamon for extra flavor

Instructions:

1️⃣ Layer the Ingredients

• Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray.

• Dump cherry pie filling into the bottom and spread evenly.

• Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the top (do not stir!).

• Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix (cover as much as possible).

2️⃣ Cook to Perfection

• Cover & cook on HIGH for 2-2.5 hours (or LOW for 3.5-4 hours) until the top is golden and set.

• Optional: For extra crispiness, leave the lid cracked for the last 30 minutes.

3️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

• Scoop warm into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

🔥 Pro Tips:

• Add crunch: Sprinkle sliced almonds or pecans before cooking.

• Extra fruity? Mix in fresh or frozen cherries with the pie filling.

• No slow cooker? Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 mins in a greased 9×13″ pan.
