Cherry Dump Cake Variations:
Want to change things up a bit? Go for it!
The options really are endless when it comes to Dump Cakes!
Here are a few of my favorite cherry dump cake variations…
- Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake (made with cherry pie filling and chocolate cake mix)
- Skillet Cherry Dump Cake (see instructions below)
How to Make Cherry Dump Cake in a Skillet
Want to change things up? Go grab your Cast Iron Skillet instead!
Simply follow the instructions in the recipe below, but instead, bake in a 12″ cast iron skillet in the oven at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, or until top is crispy and edges are hot and bubbly.
Also, instead of spraying with non-stick cooking spray, when using a skillet I like to pour 3 tbsp. Melted Butter into bottom of 12″ Cast Iron Skillet & swirl around so bottom of skillet is evenly coated.
