Description

This Easy Pineapple Cherry Dump Cake is a delicious and simple dessert that layers crushed pineapple and cherry pie filling with a yellow cake mix topping. Drizzled with melted butter and optionally sprinkled with walnuts, it bakes into a golden bubbly treat perfect for any occasion. Ready in just one hour and requiring minimal prep, this dump cake is a crowd-pleaser that pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Fruit Layers

  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Cake Topping

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dump cake.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  3. Layer Pineapple: Evenly spread the undrained crushed pineapple across the bottom of the baking dish to form the base fruit layer.
  4. Add Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the pineapple layer, creating a vibrant and flavorful middle layer.
  5. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the fruit layers, completely covering them to create the cake topping base.
  6. Add Butter and Walnuts: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix to moisten it. Optionally, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for added texture and flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the dump cake to cool slightly before serving. For an extra-special dessert, enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use undrained pineapple to keep the filling moist and flavorful.
  • Chopped walnuts are optional but add a nice crunch.
  • Check the cake starting at 45 minutes to avoid over-browning.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings by using two baking dishes.
