What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Eat More: Dump Cake with Cherries! Allow me to explain what is a less appealing title for a cake recipe. Dump Cake, seriously? Before you head off in another direction, let me assure you this is literally the easiest cake recipe you’ll find today. It comes from one of those cookbooks put together by a group of church ladies in the early 1980s. And it is fantastic! After all, just “dump” the ingredients in a 9″x13″ pan and bake. Top it off with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. Can I hear a “Hallelujah”? 🌟
DUMP CAKE WITH CHERRIES

1 21-ounce can cherry pie filling

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 smidgen nutmeg
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup almonds, sliced
Instructions:

It is a rather unfortunate name to be certain. But you’re right (as per), in that it is WELL worth it. Easy peasy, taste buds teasey . . .
