Description
Easy Pineapple Cherry Dump Cake is a quick and delicious dessert made with just a few ingredients. Sweet cherries and tangy pineapple are topped with buttery cake mix and baked to golden perfection — no mixing required!
Ingredients
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the crushed pineapple with juice into the dish and spread evenly.
- Spoon the cherry pie filling over the pineapple and spread gently.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the fruit layers.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if using.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Do not stir the layers — the ‘dump’ method gives the best texture.
- Use white or butter cake mix as alternatives to yellow cake mix.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
