Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake and St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patricks day! I hope you all had a wonderful day! Here in Chicagoland, we're having unseasonably warm weather. It feels like June instead of March! Which means I spent part of the day outside. With the grandkiddos.

I took part of dinner over to my daughter's, and she prepared most of it. I only made dessert. Everything was fantastic. She made the traditional corned beef and cabbage in the crockpot, with carrots and potatoes. She also made colcannon for the first time - I will post her recipe here as well. It was fantastic!!! We finished dinner off with a non-Irish dessert, but boy was it good!!!

CHOCOLATE CHERRY DUMP CAKE
from www.cooks.com

2 cans of cherry pie filling (21 ounces each)
1 box of chocolate cake mix
2 sticks of butter, sliced into 12 pieces each
2.25 ounce bag of chopped pecans
1/8 cup white sugar

This recipe is so easy and so delicious... a twist on regular dump cake.
Preheat the over to 350.


In a 9 x 13 cake pan:

Dump the 2 cans of cherry pie filling into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the box of chocolate cake mix evenly on top of that. Distribute the butter slices on top of the cake mix. Spread the pecans evenly over the butter and cake mix. Fianally, sprinkle the sugar over all.
Bake in the oven for 30-45 minutes and serve warm!

This is also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
