How do you make Gluten-Free Cherry Dump Cake?
If you need this to be gluten-free, the only switch you will need to make is to use a gluten-free yellow cake mix. It’s a very simple swap that will yield you a wonderful gluten-free cherry dump cake.
Do you use fresh cherries?
Cherry Dump Cake is made with canned cherry pie filling, not fresh cherries. That means you can get creative and use different flavors of pie filling to make different dump cakes too.
If you prefer homemade pie filling, be sure to check out this recipe for Homemade Cherry Pie Filling.
A few other tasty flavors are peach and blueberry.
How long does it last?
Assuming it doesn’t make it past your evening serving it, it can be stored for several days in the fridge in an airtight container. If you want to save it even longer, you can freeze it for 1-2 months in freezer-safe storage.
If you freeze the cake, simply let it thaw out before serving.
What should you serve Cherry Dump Cake with?
This cake is wonderful served with whipped cream, it can also be served with vanilla ice cream.
