Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can Cherry Pie Filling (21 ounce)
  • 1 can Blueberry Pie Filling (21 ounce)
  • 0.75 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 box white cake mix (15.25 ounce)
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (170g), sliced into small pieces

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 2.8L casserole dish or 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
  2. Pour the cherry and blueberry pie fillings into the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the fruit. Open the cake mix and sprinkle the dry powder evenly over the top of the fruit and nuts.
  3. Slice butter into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake mix, ensuring it's distributed well so that it all melts into the cake mix during baking.
  4. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the fruit filling starts to bubble up around the edges and the cake topping begins to turn golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your pan depth, so start checking after 30 minutes.
  5. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator.

Notes

This dump cake is incredibly easy and versatile. Feel free to experiment with different pie filling combinations! For a richer crust, ensure butter pieces cover the cake mix thoroughly. If the top seems powdery, add more butter pieces to those spots while it finishes baking.
