ingredients
2 cans (21 ounce size) cherry pie filling
1 package (16 ounce size) yellow cake mix, stirred with a fork to break up any clumps of mix
1 can (12 ounce size) 7-up
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Pour the cherry pie filling in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the cake mix (dry) evenly over the top of the pie filling.
Slowly pour the 7-up over the cake mix.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
recipe tips
Do not stir the cake mix and soda together; just pour the soda SLOWLY over the top.
Try sprinkling cinnamon or nutmeg over the cake mix before adding the soda.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
For a crisper top, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving as it will be very hot.
Try adding a layer of nuts or coconut between the pie filling and cake mix.
If the cobbler is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
Try serving with a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra decadent touch.
Always preheat the oven for the best baking results.
Sprinkle a handful of milk or white chocolate chips over the top during the last 15 minutes of the baking time.
common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of pie filling?
Yes, you can use any fruit pie filling such as apple, blueberry, or peach.
What can I use instead of yellow cake mix?
A white cake mix, chocolate cake mix, or even a spice cake mix can be used for a different flavor.
Is there a substitute for 7-Up?
You can use any clear soda like Sprite or ginger ale.
Can I make this dessert without a cake mix?
This particular recipe relies on cake mix, but you can make a cobbler topping from scratch with flour, sugar, and butter. But, that's really outside the realm of this particular recipe. You can look at our other cobbler recipes.
How do I store and reheat leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
Can this dessert be frozen?
Store the cooled cobbler in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw before reheating in the oven.

Kwelshons REVIEW:
May 30, 2022Just tried this a second time. I used most of a 20 oz bottle of 7up and I added chocolate chips. The chips seemed to help moisten all the dry mix by keeping it under the soda. I extended baking time to 75 minutes. And I substituted double chocolate cake mix. Kinda decadent, but WoW! Everybody loved it.

June 25, 2021Made this today with 3 groups of residents and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I held my breath because it was necessary to use a gluten free cake mix for one of the groups but it turned out wonderful. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Paradise20942 REVIEW:
June 14, 2021I found if you gently mix the soda into the cake mix, then spoon it over your pie filling it will come out beautifully. If it does not cook throughly, cover with aluminum foil and bake another 10 minutes

Omi REVIEW:
September 22, 2020I used 1 can of blueberry pie filling mixed with 1 can of apple pie filling. I used a pastry cutter to break up any clumps in cake mix before sprinkling on top. Then poured the 7 Up over as directed. When done, there was still dry cake mix in places on top. I had to do the taste test before serving to guests. It tasted good but the appearance left a lot to be desired.

Billie REVIEW:
July 16, 2020This was pretty good, no complaints from the hubs. You can definitely tell the difference between the butter version dump cake and 7-Up. But that made it healthier in my book haha!

Cindy Wenzel REVIEW:
March 20, 2020Aweful,what a waste of ingredients. So upset. No lumps, the 7up didnât mix in with the cake mix. Flat top brown,just under that was raw cake mix.

Not sure why it wouldn't bake through then. Maybe the type of cake mix? Maybe you needed to cook it longer? This recipe works but there must be some common factor among the few that have had issues with it.

Kmb REVIEW:
March 4, 2020Ugh! So upset! Cooked it for 60 minutes! It looked brown and bubbly and when I went to serve it the cake mix was dry underneath. What did I do wrong?

CDKitchen Staff Reply:
Was the cake mix clumpy when you sprinkled it on? That could do it.

Karen REVIEW:
December 29, 2019This recipe looked so easy....BUT!!! The can of soda did not mix in with the cake mix!!! The soda just rolled over the cake mix. When it came out of the oven, there were white powdery spots of cake mix on the top!!! I tried to brush them off but they were also under the surface!! I would not recommend this recipe!!!

Cherry September 24, 2019

Anonymous REVIEW:
August 15, 2016Served it to family. Told them it was all from scratch and they believed me but couldn't believe I actually made something from scratch. Finally told them the "secret" ingredients. They actually were surprised that it wasn't from scratch because it was soo good.

Wizzy REVIEW:
July 9, 2013This is one of those recipes that makes you wonder how someone came up with it! It's so simple but you end up with a really tasty dessert. I use a low-sugar cherry pie filling and diet 7up. I've also made this with chocolate cake mix and cola for sort of a black forest version.

7-Up Quick Cobbler REVIEW:
June 12, 2011A great alternative to this recipe is to use fresh or frozen berries. You can also use sugar free cake mix and diet 7-Up, Sprite, or Fresca to make a great diabetic or less calorie version. You absolutely will never know it's diet! This recipe rivals the traditional cobbler! Serve with a scoop of ice cream on top.

This cake did not cook through in the 45 min. that the recipe called for. We cooked for 1/2 an hour more.
