4-INGREDIENT CHERRY DUMP CAKE

My sister discovered this cake at a church potluck and asked the lady who made it for the recipe. Since then, it has been a favorite in our family and it is so super easy as well as tasty!

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h9m

Yield 1 cake, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (20 ounce) can wilderness cherry pie filling
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix
1 cup margarine, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Dump the crushed pineapple (juice and all) into bottom of pan; make sure it is evenly spread on bottom.
  • Dump the cherry pie filling on top of the pineapple; make sure it is evenly spread on top.
  • Dump the dry cake mix over the top, spreading evenly across the top.
  • Melt the margarine in microwave (or stove top if you prefer).
  • Using a large serving spoon, evenly put melted margarine over top of dry cake mix, making sure it goes clear to the edge and the dry cake mix is covered. (You may not have to use all of the margarine. I just melt that much so that I will have extra in case I have trouble spreading it).
  • Bake for 60 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Check it often toward the end of cooking because it should only be golden brown and it is easy to get it too brown.

4-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



4-Ingredient Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe by Tasty image

This is a twist on the classic 3-ingredient Japanese cheesecake-we swapped out the white chocolate for milk chocolate and added a little sugar to sweeten things up. It's light, airy, and perfect when you want something decadent but only have a few ingredients on hand.

Provided by Matt Ciampa

Categories     Desserts

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
8 oz milk chocolate chips
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature, whites and yolks separated
boiling water, for baking
maraschino cherry, for garnish-optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set the pan inside a larger roasting pan.
  • Add the chocolate chips to a large heatproof bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted.
  • Whisk in the cream cheese and sugar, then let cool for 5 minutes. Add the egg yolks and whisk to incorporate.
  • Add the egg whites to a separate large bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture, a little at a time, until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Carefully pour the boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the cake pan.
  • Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool completely, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until very cold.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and invert onto a serving plate. Peel off the parchment paper.
  • Slice and garnish with maraschino cherries, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is especially important for baking recipes, as the ratios of ingredients are crucial for the success of the dish. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. Look for organic, fair-trade, and non-GMO ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven is also crucial for the success of the cake. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cake.
  • Don't open the oven door while the cake is baking: Opening the oven door while the cake is baking can cause the cake to fall. Wait until the cake is fully baked before opening the oven door.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Conclusion:

This 4-ingredient chocolate cherry cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and sweet cherry filling, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
