Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 21 ounces cherry pie filling (or 4 cups of homemade cherry pie filling)
  • 1 box 15.25 ounces yellow or white cake mix
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 1 stick
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp carob fruit syrup or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If you’re using fresh cherries, mix them with a bit of sugar before adding them.
  • Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the cherry filling. Do not stir; let it sit on top.
  • Pour the melted butter evenly and carob syrup over the top of the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the cake mix as possible for even baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and bubbly. The edges may be slightly crisp, which is perfect!
  • Let the dump cake cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
