    This Cherry Pie Chocolate Dump Cake is very easy to make and it is really tasty! I like to stock up on cake mixes and canned pie filling to make dump cakes all year - they're such an easy way to make a last minute dessert.

    Why we really love this easy Dump Cake Recipe

    This Cherry Pie Chocolate Dump Cake turned out even better than we thought it would be, even if you don't even really like cherries. I mean, I don't know who doesn't like CHERRIES, but I guess it is what it is.

    The chocolate cake was quite rich and it balanced well with the lightly sweetened cherry pie filling. The top is also a little crunchy and works well with the smooth filling.
