This Black Forest dump cake recipe is full of cherries and chocolate — just like it should be. And it is unbelievably easy to make.
Dump cake. Quite the attractive name, no? But if you’re familiar with dump cakes at all…you know they are easy to make. And you know I love easy recipes!
Maybe we can just call it something else. Pour cake? No…., sounds like “poor” cake. Layer cake? No, that name certainly won’t work. Layer cakes are fancy and take actual time to make.
Okay, so dump cake it is. It’s okay because the taste makes up for the name times a million.
This cake is a simple recipe – only four ingredients:
- Cake Mix
- Cherry Pie Filling
- Butter
- Hot Fudge
Because hot fudge is always a good idea.
It’s perfect with a dab of whipped cream on top. You can use canned whipped cream or go crazy with homemade whipped cream!
Enjoy!
