Description

An easy and delicious dump cake made with pineapple, cherry pie filling, and cake mix. Perfect for quick desserts with minimal prep.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the crushed pineapple with its juice evenly on the bottom.
  3. Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the pineapple layer.
  4. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the fruit layers.
  5. Place the butter slices evenly across the top of the cake mix.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for added crunch.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Do not stir the layers; this helps achieve the distinct dump cake texture.
  • You can use white cake mix as a substitute for yellow.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
