Origin Cherry Cheesecake Dump Cake

Dump cakes originated in the U.S. as an easy dessert that requires no mixing—just “dump” the ingredients into a baking dish and let the oven do the work. The addition of a cheesecake layer gives this version a creamy twist on the classic.

What I Love About This Recipe

I love how effortlessly this cake comes together—no need for multiple bowls or complicated steps. The contrast between the tangy cheesecake layer, the sweet cherry filling, and the crumbly buttery cake is simply delicious. It’s also highly customizable; you can swap out the fruit filling or add nuts for extra texture. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or last-minute cravings!

Ingredients

1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup chopped pecans or almonds (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the cherry filling and gently spread it.
Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top without mixing.
Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix, making sure to cover as much as possible.
Sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if using.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
