7UP Cherry Dump Cake is a simple dessert with only 3 ingredients! Cake mix, cherry pie filling and some lemon lime soda are all you need!AN EASY OLD SCHOOL DESSERTI love desserts like this 7Up Cherry Dump Cake! It is the ultimate dump cake- everything is made in one dish, and you only need three ingredients. It doesnt get any simpler than this. Its a great dessert for beginners because it is truly foolproof! If youve made a dump cake before, youll know that generally the cake mix is topped with butter. This one is a little different in that it uses soda instead of the butter. It makes it a lighter (more cake-like) topping rather than a crunchier topping.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:Could I use butter and 7up? I dont recommend both. It would be too much and too heavy on the cake mix layer. I would only use one or the other. Can I use other pie filling flavors? Yes, you can use strawberry, blueberry, peach or apple pie filling as a substitute for the cherry pie filling. Pretty much any pie filling will work here. Can I add anything else? You could add a layer of chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, nuts, or even coconut on top of the cherry pie filling. Why use 7 Up? The 7UP helps the cobbler rise and creates a light, crumbly topping. You can use any lemon lime soda. Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, it is best to prepare it the day before and serve it at room temperature the following day. What other combinations can I use? There are so many combinations that could be used. I think chocolate cake with the cherry pie filling and some Coca Cola instead of 7Up would be a nice combination. It would give a kind of Black Forest Cake vibe. But really, any combination of cake mix, pie filling, or soda can be used as you long as you think it would taste good together. Why is my filling runny? The thing about this one that is different from the butter dump cakes is that it needs time to set up after taking it out of the oven or the filling would be too runny. It thickens as it cools. What can I serve on top of this cobbler cake? Vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel, or whipped cream all pair perfectly. Can I add almond extract to the pie filling? Definitely! I like to add a little almond extract to my cherry pie filling. It really amps up the flavor. Id use about -1 teaspoon per can of filling. How do I store leftovers? Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerated for up to five days. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)cherry pie filling You can use generic or name-brand for this. You can also use any pie filling flavor you would like.yellow cake mix You only need the cake mix itself. No egg, water, or oil is necessary for the topping.Use whatever brand of cake mix you like or have on hand. I think this would be great with my Homemade Yellow Cake Mix too. Look for a brand of cake mix that is 15.25 ounces rather than 13.25 ounces. At the time of writing this post, Duncan Hines, Walmart Brand (Great Value) and Pillsbury are all still the larger size (15.25 ounce) but Betty Crocker has decreased its ounces to 13.25 ounces per box so I wouldnt use Betty Crocker here. 7-up lemon lime soda The lemon-lime soda creates the airy cobbler topping. You can use any brand lemon lime soda.HOW TO MAKE 7UP CHERRY DUMP CAKE:Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a 913-inch (2.5 quart) baking dish with nonstick spray. Add 1 1/2 cans of cherry pie filling to the bottom of the baking dish. Reserve the other half of the filling.Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the top of the pie filling for later.Gently pour the 7-up evenly over the top of the cake mix. Use the back of a spoon to gently incorporate the cake mix and 7-up until it is no longer bubbly and there arent any dry bits. You arent fully mixing it. Just swirl the back of the spoon around to make sure all of the cake mix is covered with the 7Up.Dollop the remaining cherry pie filling on top.Bake on the middle rack for about 60 minutes or until golden brown. After 45 minutes, if the top is getting too brown, cover with aluminum foil.NOTE: Oven times can vary so please go by doneness and not strictly by time. Allow the cake to cool so the cobbler sets completely. If you cut into it while it is hot, it will be very liquidy. As it cools, it sets up. This can take at least 2 hours so this is a great dessert to make the day before you want to enjoy it.CRAVING MORE RECIPES?Strawberry Dump CakePeach Dump CakeCherry Dump CakeCrock Pot Apple Dump CakeBlueberry Dump Cake Print7Up Cherry Dump CakeA dump cake with cherry pie filling and yellow cake mix but using 7Up instead of butter.
