Description

This Rainbow Chip Dump Cake is a vibrant, easy-to-make dessert featuring a luscious layer of cherry pie filling topped with yellow cake mix and colorful rainbow chips. Simply layered and baked to golden perfection, it delivers a delightful combination of fruity sweetness and rich, melty rainbow chips, perfect for gatherings or a quick sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake Mix Layer

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup rainbow chips (or colored chocolate chips)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Fruit Filling

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling (or your favorite fruit pie filling)

Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
  2. Layer the Pie Filling: Pour and spread the cherry pie filling evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
  3. Add the Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry pie filling. Do not stir; the layers should stay separate for the perfect dump cake texture.
  4. Sprinkle Rainbow Chips: Evenly distribute the rainbow chips over the cake mix layer to add bursts of color and melty sweetness.
  5. Drizzle Melted Butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix and rainbow chips, ensuring full coverage for a golden crust as it bakes.
  6. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges. The cake mix should form a firm, slightly crisp top crust.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cherry pie filling with any fruit pie filling you prefer, such as blueberry, apple, or peach.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free yellow cake mix and verify pie filling ingredients.
  • The optional vanilla extract can be mixed with the melted butter for enhanced flavor.
  • Rainbow chips can be replaced with white chocolate or regular chocolate chips for variation.
  • Allowing the cake to cool slightly helps it set, making it easier to serve.
