Why we really love this easy Dump Cake Recipe
This Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake Recipe 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.
