    Cranberry Cherry Dump Cake is a delicious dessert that is perfect for the holidays! Easy, sweet and tart homemade filling with a sugary cake topping. 

    It’s my favorite time of the year, filled with friends, family and of course, food! I love cooking for the holidays, especially desserts like this hot chocolate cake, holiday jello cake and nut clusters.

    WHAT IS A DUMP CAKE?

    Dump cakes typically consist of fruit on the bottom of a baking dish and are topped with cake mixture and melted butter. They are very similar to a cobbler. 

    CRANBERRY CHERRY DUMP CAKE

    This cake is a delicious combination of sweet and tart. The beautiful color from the cherries and cranberries makes it perfect to serve at any special holiday occasion. 

    Ingredients Needed:

    Cherries – You can use frozen or fresh cherries. If they are large, cut them in half. 

    Cranberries – You can use fresh or frozen.

    Sugar – I use Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Sugar.

    All-purpose flour

    Salt

    Baking Powder

    Butter – This will be melted and poured on top of the cake mixture. I melt my butter in the microwave or on the stove.

    HOW TO SERVE CRANBERRY CHERRY DUMP CAKE

    I love serving my cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It would also be delicious with some whipped cream.
