Discover the irresistible flavor of cherry dump cake. Bursting with juicy cherries and a perfectly crisp topping, this dessert brings a delectable sweetness to your dining table.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
Place cherries into the prepared pan. Toss with cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well mixed. Sprinkle this mixture over the cherries in an even layer.
Sprinkle brown sugar on top.
Use a cheese grater to grate the cold butter. Sprinkle the grated butter over the top of the brown sugar layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden.
Notes
Pro Tip: The nature of dump cakes make it difficult to spread your flour mixture evenly. High spots may not mix with liquids and remain raw. If you notice raw spots while baking, simply use a spoon to flatten out the high spot out so it can absorb some liquids.
