My food writer told me that this Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake Recipe turned out even better than she thought it would be, and she doesn'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.
