In Wisconsin, we call this kind of recipe a Dump Cake - because you just dump everything in the pan. It works great with the cherries.

We liked this quick and easy dessert. I didn't have enough cherries, so I also used a can of crushed pineapple, drained. The reason I gave it four stars is because ..i feel the baking time is off. I would go with 40 mn. then see. Thanks for posting!

This is really great. It is easy and delicious. I think I am even going to try it with other fruits when they are in season. I ate it with creme brulee ice cream and it was to die for! Thanks for the wonderful recipe Tom Lambie.....
