Description

This 7Up Cherry Dump Cake is a delightful and simple dessert that requires minimal prep but delivers maximum flavor. Combining sweet cherry pie filling, zesty lemon-lime soda, and a yellow cake mix, it bakes into a moist, bubbly cake with a golden crust. Perfect for gatherings or potlucks, it’s an effortless way to enjoy a classic fruity cobbler-style dessert.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling

Cake Layer

  • 15.25 ounce box yellow cake mix

Liquid

  • 2 cups 7-Up lemon lime soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch (2.5 quart) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Cherry Filling: Pour 1 and 1/2 cans of cherry pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, reserving the leftover half can for topping later.
  3. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the entire 15.25-ounce box of yellow cake mix over the cherry filling layer without stirring.
  4. Pour 7-Up Soda: Gently pour 2 cups of 7-Up lemon-lime soda evenly over the cake mix layer, ensuring good coverage.
  5. Incorporate Cake Mix and Soda: Using the back of a spoon, lightly swirl the cake mix and soda together just enough so the dry cake mix is moistened but not fully mixed; the batter should no longer be bubbly.
  6. Add Remaining Cherry Filling: Dollop the remaining cherry pie filling on top of the partially combined cake mixture.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish on the middle oven rack and bake for about 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil after 45 minutes. Oven times may vary, so check for doneness rather than strictly adhering to time.
  8. Cool Before Serving: Allow the cake to cool for at least 2 hours so the cobbler sets completely. Cutting it while hot will result in a very liquidy consistency, but cooling solidifies it nicely for serving.

Notes

  • Do not fully mix the cake batter; just swirl to combine cake mix with 7-Up soda for best texture.
  • Cover with foil if the top browns too fast during baking to prevent burning.
  • Allow the cake to cool thoroughly to ensure the dessert sets and is easy to slice.
  • This recipe yields a moist, bubbly cobbler-style cake, so expect a slightly gooey texture under the crust.
  • Use lemon-lime soda like 7-Up or Sprite for the right level of sweetness and moisture.
