The Best and Easiest Cherry Cake

Everyone loves a good dump cake recipe! This Cherry Dump Cake recipe is filled with cherry pie filling, crumbled pineapple, topped with cake mix, walnuts and butter!

Easy dessert recipes are a must have on hand, and pour cake is one of those easy recipes I love to use. If you love this cherry cake, you should definitely try the peach or caramel apple versions!

An easy fruit dessert

I love me a good dessert recipe, but I especially love my dessert that is easy to put together and tastes great. Dump cake is just that! They’re fun because you can be as simple or creative as you want. Today’s recipe is easy and delicious! !

I’m more of a chocolate dessert type person, but every now and then, I like something fruity. This trash cake is perfect for my taste buds. I love that the walnuts add a little crunch to every bite, and the fruit is the perfect combination.

It’s called a “trash” cake for a reason

Whenever one of us eats, I like to find an easy recipe because I usually spend more time preparing the actual dinner. Recipes like this are perfect because you literally pour everything into the pot – give it a stir and pop it in the oven. So easy…and definitely a crowd pleaser!

Serve hot with some delicious vanilla ice cream and you’ll get rave reviews. 😀

Variety. While this recipe is delicious, sometimes it’s fun to try a little twist. Try these ideas:

Add sliced apples to the bottom.
Use sliced almonds in place of or in combination with pecans.
Replace/combine nuts with coconut flakes.
When mixing the pineapple and cherries together, add ½ to 1 teaspoon (depending on your preference) of almond extract.
Use chunky applesauce instead of butter or use ½ applesauce and ½ butter
