This 3-Ingredient Cherry Dessert is basically an easy dump cake / cobbler-style dessert — warm cherries on the bottom with a buttery cake topping.

6

Ingredients (Only 3)

• 1 can (about 21 oz / 595 g) cherry pie filling
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• ½–¾ cup melted butter (about 115–170 g)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven

• Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Add cherries

• Spread the cherry pie filling evenly in a baking dish.

3. Add cake mix

• Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cherries.
  Do not stir.

4. Add butter

• Drizzle melted butter evenly over the top to cover as much of the cake mix as possible.

5. Bake

• Bake for 40–50 minutes until:
  • Top is golden brown
  • Cherry filling is bubbling

6. Cool slightly

• Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Tips

• Do not mix the layers — this is what creates the cobbler texture.
• If you see dry powder spots, drizzle a little extra melted butter on top.
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best taste. 🍒🍰

Easy variations

• Use apple, peach, or blueberry pie filling instead of cherry.
• Try chocolate cake mix for a Black Forest–style dessert.
