White Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake
This White Chocolate Cherry Dump cake is a spin on the classic cherry dump cake. I never made a dump cake in my slow cooker before this one, and I’m hooked, the possibilities are endless! Cherry, pumpkin, peach, blackberry, you name the filling, and it could be a dump cake! A dump cake is just what the name says, you dump everything in your slow cooker, NO STIRRING! I have turned into a lazy baker since I had my daughter. I would be in the kitchen for hours, getting every dish dirty in my kitchen. Not anymore! I may not make another desert besides a dump cake for a long time!

January 7, 2014 at 4:44 pmCooking this right now, just another hour and it will be done. I used peaches instead of cherries cause I love peaches.

January 12, 2014 at 12:52 amI made this today. Smelled fabulous while it cooked until I started to notice a burnt aroma in the last 30 mins. It was not done in the middle at the 2 1/2hrs so I continued for another 30 mins on low. I’m just wondering if anyone has had a problem with it burning around the edges and if it should cooked on low? The rest of it tastes great!
Sarah Olson says
January 12, 2014 at 2:28 pmWhat brand of slow cooker did you use? Some cook hotter than others.
Liz says
January 14, 2014 at 12:48 pmI used a Rival crockpot.
Sarah Olson says
January 14, 2014 at 4:30 pmThats what I used too, I’m stumped. Well I’m glad you got to eat part of it 🙂
Carla says
November 18, 2017 at 6:00 amIs a slow cooker the same as a crock pot? Probably not but hoping that it is for these delicious recipes
Sarah Olson says
November 18, 2017 at 7:52 amHi Carla, Crock Pot is just a brand of slow cooker, so yes they are the same 🙂
Frances says
July 10, 2016 at 8:56 pmI make a similar cake but in the oven and I use a can of cherries, 1 can drained pineapple chunks, 1 box butter cake mix (I prefer D.Hines), coconut flakes sprinkled across the top and 1 stick of melted butter on top making sure to get all the coconut. I bake it for about 45 to 55 minutes at 350 and it is fabulous. Not so sure it would come out crisp on the top if I made it in a crock pot.

Ashley says
July 1, 2014 at 12:48 pmCan this be doubled or even tripled for more servings?
Sarah Olson says
July 1, 2014 at 1:29 pmI’m not sure how it would cook up if it was doubled 🙂
Lisa says

Trish Kenney says
December 10, 2014 at 12:28 pmI make this in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes. Like it better in the oven.

ROZ says

Sarah Olson says
January 13, 2015 at 6:02 amYep! here is a recipe for chocolate: http://www.tammileetips.com/2014/02/crock-pot-chocolate-cherry-dump-cake/
Lori Molina says
March 1, 2015 at 1:43 pmSo we don’t use any of the other ingredients that the cake Box asks for meaning like the eggs
Sarah Olson says
March 1, 2015 at 2:06 pmYep! That’s correct Lori 🙂
Tom says
April 22, 2015 at 7:02 pmLiz, how old is your crockpot? Sounds like it is on its way out.
Cynthia says
May 10, 2015 at 5:42 pmI made this today and it burned and didn’t set up 🙁
Trish says
June 21, 2015 at 3:49 pmI’m making this now it’s been cooking for 2.5 hrs and doesn’t look like it is setting up chips still and in shape not melted. Should I turn it down to low and cook longer than 3 hrs?
Sarah Olson says
June 21, 2015 at 7:58 pmYes, turning to low would be good. 🙂
Chas says
September 2, 2015 at 8:50 amDo you think it would be okay to double the recipe?
Georgia says
November 10, 2015 at 7:33 pmI am wanting to make this Sunday. But, I need to double it. I need it for a party so I don’t want to try it and it fail. Has anyone tried doubling it? Maybe it would be better to do it in the oven. Does anyone have experience with doubling it in the oven? If so, what size pan?
Sarah says
June 26, 2016 at 2:18 pmAny recipes for the small slow cooker, cakes and main dishes.
Sarah Olson says
July 5, 2016 at 7:46 amHi Sarah, I don’t have any, I cook quite big portions because there is 3 of us in my family and my husband takes the leftovers to work.
Marge says
July 9, 2016 at 5:18 pmCan I put chopped walnuts or pecans on the top instead of ch chips? .. Would I need to add any type sweetener since the walnuts or pecans wouldn’t be sweet like the ch chips .. Thanks
Sarah Olson says
July 9, 2016 at 5:52 pmIt will be plenty sweet without the chips. That walnuts or pecans would be great in this.
Kathee says
April 16, 2018 at 11:12 amThat does sound great. They do have a butter pecan cake, but can’t recall what brand. Just so you know. ☺️
Mel Jones says
July 12, 2016 at 9:14 pmSo no eggs or milk liquid? what is the liquid that needs to set?
Kathy conger says
September 4, 2016 at 5:50 pmCan you use can fruit if you drain the juice .?
Sarah Olson says
September 4, 2016 at 6:05 pmI don’t see why not! I would add a touch of the juice though.
Elizabeth Myers says
September 8, 2016 at 8:50 amWhere is the recipe?
Sarah Olson says
September 8, 2016 at 9:24 amI’m seeing here on my screen? It’s below the picture.
shiley gahret says
September 8, 2016 at 5:30 pmwant to do this and use crushed pineapple with juice and yellow cake is this possible to do
Deborah Rist says
October 21, 2016 at 3:43 amCan this be made with any flavor of cake mix? I was thinking about using apples and a spice mix.
Carol Harting says
June 5, 2018 at 3:07 pmI would like to use my fresh boysenberries or satsuma plums, both with a lot of juice when they cook. Can fresh fruit be used this way or is there another type to use with fresh fruit? I have a Instant Pot that I use as a slow cooker
