Mini Chocolate Cherry Dump Cakes
Oh honey, if you ever needed a bite-sized piece of heaven that practically makes itself, this is it.
Mini Chocolate Cherry Dump Cakes are your shortcut to dessert glory—no measuring cups, no mixing bowls, just pure magic.
Imagine rich chocolate, gooey cherry filling, and melty chocolate chips all cozied up in a muffin tin. It’s like a Black Forest cake met a cupcake, and they decided to elope.
These little beauties are perfect for parties, weeknight treats, or when you just need something chocolatey that doesn’t judge you for eating three in one sitting. (Don’t worry, I won’t tell.)
Mini Chocolate Cherry Dump Cakes
Equipment
- 1 standard 12-cup muffin tin
Ingredients
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter cut into 12 small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). No shortcuts here, darling. You can’t rush perfection.
- Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly into each cup of a greased muffin tin. This is where the magic begins.
- Sprinkle chocolate cake mix over the cherries, distributing it evenly like you’re sprinkling fairy dust.
- Add a few chocolate chips on top because, really, who has ever said, “Too much chocolate”?
- Plop a piece of butter on each little masterpiece. Butter is love, and these cakes deserve love.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and slightly crisp. Let them cool just enough so you don’t burn your tongue, but not so much that you lose your nerve.
