Red Velvet Cherry Dump Cake

If you've never had or never heard of dump cake, you're missing out.  I make several dump cakes every years because it's just SO GOOD! 

While I was scrolling through Facebook this morning since we were basically on lock down because of the weather, one of the pages that I "like" was showing this recipe for a red velvet dump cake.  So since I had nothing better to do today, I thought, "Why not?".  Here's the link and the recipe from the site with the pictures from the one that I made...

Ingredients

• 2 cans (21 ounces each can) cherry pie filling
• 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix (I used Betty Crocker)
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 ½ cups sweetened coconut

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Spray a 9x13 inch pan with baking spray.
Dump the two cans of cherries into the pan. Spread with a spatula to make even.

Sprinkle cake mix over the cherries, doing your best to evenly distribute the mix. 

Pour butter evenly as best you can over the cake mix.

Sprinkle the coconut on top of the butter covered cake mix. 

 

 

Bake for 50-60 minutes. 

 

Remove from oven. You can serve dump cake warm or cold.

 

I haven't cut into mine yet so I can't show you want the inside looked like, but what I can tell you is that my house smelled yummy for at least 2 hours!
