Equipment
- 9x13 pan
- oven
Ingredients
- 6 graham crackers (the full rectangle sheet)
- 3/4 cup vegan butter divided into two steps ¼ cup and ½ cup
- 2 21 ounce canned cherry pie filling
- 8 ounces vegan cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box cake mix (white)
- 3/4 cup (optional) nuts, chopped I used macademia nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Melt 1/4 cup vegan butter and line the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Tilt to spread evenly.
- Place 6 full (retangle) graham cracker sheets in the bottom of the pan on top of the melted butter.
- Add the two cans of cherry pie filling, spreading evenly.
- Mix the vanilla into the vegan cream cheese and stir well. The vegan cream cheese should be light and fluffy and very spreadable.
- In small even portions, dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top of the cherry pie filling layer.
- Sprinkle the cake mix evenly on top.
- If you are adding the optional nuts to the top, chop if necesssary, and sprinkle evenly.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup butter to the top of the cake mix layer. You can either slice and place evenly (if you have stick butter), or melt and drizzle.
- Bake in a 350° oven for about 35 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
- Take out of the oven and allow cooling to room temperature.
- Store leftover covered in the refrigerator. If the dump cake is quite cold, you'll want to go ahead and dish out and then let sit for a few minutes to come closer to room temperature. This will allow the flavors to come through better and the butter won't be rock solid.
