Dutch Oven Cherry Dump Cake Recipe

The ingredients for this camping dessert are really easy.

Get the full recipe is at the bottom of the post.

Directions

Light charcoal hot coals for the dutch oven. This is how we start all our dutch oven recipes.

Line the dutch oven with foil and spray with some cooking spray. You can also create your own Dutch oven liners using this tutorial.

Dump the pie filling into the bottom of the dutch oven.

Dutch Oven Dump Cake with Soda

Mix the cake mix and soda together in another bowl and pour over the cherry filling.

Sprinkle the pecans on top. I just covered half since some of our eaters wanted it without.

Place lid on dutch oven, cover with coals and bake for 20-25 minutes depending on your heat.

Use your nose to test for doneness. We could really smell a strong baking smell and when we pulled it around 23 minutes. It turned out perfectly!

If you can smell a burning smell, then you’ve baked it too long.

The filling was really hot, but that didn’t stop everyone from devouring it.

This is NOT a posed photo below. It was so delicious that we were practically fighting over it.

Yummier than made in a conventional oven!

Dutch Oven Pineapple Dump Cake

A classic dump cake is made with a can of crushed pineapple. We tried using a full can of both pie filling and crushed pineapple and discovered that it was too wet for the cake to cook properly.

If you want to include it, just use a half of a can of crushed pineapple and half of a can of cherry pie filling.
