Where did you find this recipe? My great-grandmother claimed this as her own. I have never seen it before, anywhere! We ABSOLUTELY love it!! We sprinkle cinnamon on top – yum yum!! I wish I had some now.

How funny! First I heard it from Nettie, then I did “the google” and found it everywhere. Isn’t it the best? Cinnamon, good idea!

You are quite the chef, Amy. That looks great.

Ha! A monkey could do this one! But thanks.=)

It really is good – I wonder if it’s good with blueberries. You should try it and let me know.
[Reply]
I think it would be, peaches too!
[Reply]
I like to make it more with peaches. I am not big of cherries, but the peaches are extra juicy so it can be a little more runny. So make sure all the juice is gone or use fresh peaches.
[Reply]
I’m drooling… can I have mine with ice cream?
[Reply]
You sure can and remember you could make this with any fruit you like. I really want to try blueberry.

My mama used to make this growing up too. We LOVED it! She made it with all sorts of fruit, including fruit she had canned herself, but my favorite has always been cherry.
YUM!

@Candy, Awesome! There are so many other fruits you could try with this recipe!

You have just made my day. There is nothing that I love more than cherries and I have been trying to find a decent cobbler recipe forever, so thank you for sharing this one. I’m definitely going to break out my cooking hat and set too.

@Mom Spark, One question: How many ounces of cherries should I use?
Amy Bellgardt replied: — March 7th, 2011 @ 11:17 am
@Newmexicosam, Did you add the melted butter?
I did something wrong. All we could taste was dry cake mix. I used two cans of cherries (21 oz ea.). What happened?

I added 1 stick of melted butter on the top of the cake mix.

@Newmexicosam, Weird! I have no idea what went wrong!
Mom Spark replied: — January 21st, 2012 @ 11:40 pm
Yes, same here!
I had no White cake mix but I did have Devils Food Cake Mix….so I made Chocolate Cherry Cobbler! With fresh whipped cream. SO GOOD!

@Megan, Oh my, what a GREAT idea! Now I need to try that.
[Reply]
I really need to make this. I haven’t had a good cobbler since I left Texas. It’s just not very popular here in the midwest.

@Curt, It is SO easy and yummy!

We make this type of cake all the time. We call it “Dump Cake” LOL! Pretty much just dump all the ingredients into the pan and bake until golden brown and bubbly. Our favorite way to make it is cherry pie filling and chunk pineapples with a pineapple cake mix, butter on top. Once fully cooked, top with whipped cream. YUM!!! I’ve also made a chocolate one with cherries. I’ve also made one with peaches frozen raspberries and strawberries with just a regular butter cake. There’s not been one that my family hasn’t loved! LOL. Gotta watch the chocolate ones though, they are harder to tell when they’re done. I actually burnt the edges on the first couple I made.

@Whitney at It’s Gravy, Baby!, Let me know if you do and how it turns out!
[Reply]
Bought the ingredients last night. Added the can of cherry pie filling to a 9×13 pan and it didn’t cover the bottom! Scraped it all into an 11×7 and only added 1/2 the cake mix. Cooked and mix barely covered the cherries. It would be nice if you added container sizes to the ingredient list to help others.

That is strange! I always use a 9×13 pan, I wonder what size can of cherries you used, was it a small or standard size?
