This simple dump cake is super sweet and indulgent with a classic pairing of cherries and chocolate. Salted butter balances out the sweetness and adds rich flavor to the gooey chocolate brownie topping. Serve this warm dessert with cold vanilla ice cream for the perfect bite!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • cooking spray

  • 2 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling

  • ¼ cup water

  • 1 (18.4 ounce) package brownie mix

  • ¾ cup salted butter, frozen

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat the sides of a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

  2. Pour cherry filling into the prepared baking pan. Pour water evenly over pie filling. Sprinkle brownie mix evenly in one layer on the top; do not stir it in. Grate frozen butter evenly over the brownie mix.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly all over, about 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Cook’s Note

Instead of grating the frozen butter, you could cut it into very small cubes and scatter evenly over the brownie mix.

You can use a chocolate cake mix if you don't have a brownie mix.
