JEN'S CHOCOLATE CHERRY DUMP CAKE 
This recipe is so easy and so delicious... a twist on regular dump cake!

2 cans cherry pie filling (21 oz. each)
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, sliced into 12 pieces each
1 (2.25 oz.) bag chopped pecans
1/8 cup white sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a 9x13-inch cake pan:

Dump the 2 cans of cherry pie filling into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the box of chocolate cake mix evenly on top of that. Distribute the butter slices on top of the cake mix.

Spread the pecans evenly over the butter and cake mix. Finally, sprinkle the sugar over all.

Bake at 350°F for 30 to 45 minutes and serve warm!

This is also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Tried it once with melted butter over top (like above) and did not turn out as well. So far devil's food cake mix seems to be the family favorite. We cut back by using lite pie filling and didn't find a difference. YUM!

I melted the butter in a heatproof measuring cup in the oven while it was preheating, then drizzled over instead. Easier than cutting into pieces.

Just a quick suggestion, cake mixes tend to be salty so I use unsalted butter. Since I have to buy a pound I usually try to mix up cake mix cookies at the same time. Just an idea. This is one yummy quick desert... MMMMM

I tried this recipe and it is easy and delicious. However, it seemed a little too salty. I will cut back on the butter a little. Currently experimenting with cake mixes: devils food, chocolate fudge, milk chocolate, german chocolate.
