Cherry Dump Pudding - Pudding Cake Recipe



I've been making this easy cake with pudding recipe since the '70s. The moist vanilla cake combined with red cherries in a sweet cherry sauce is down-home goodness! The kids will have fun "dumping" the ingredients into the pan.

1 16 oz. can red sour cherries in juice (not pie filling)

Melt butter or margarine. Pour into a 9 in x 9 in baking pan. In a medium size bowl, mix together 1 cup of the sugar, flour, and baking powder. Add the milk and vanilla blending well to make a cake batter. Pour the batter into the pan over the melted butter. Do not stir. Open the canned cherries. Pour juice and all on top of the cake batter.
