I was in my mid-20s before I had ever heard of “Dump Cake”. The gal who was telling me about it was shocked that I didn’t know. So she let me in on the secret. Just in case you hadn’t heard of it, here’s the recipe!
How to Make a Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake
It couldn’t be simpler – just a few ingredients dumped into a 9×13 pan and baked. Really, it doesn’t get any easier! I love the cherry and pineapple combination, but you can make an apple dump cake, cherry dump cake, or any number of combinations with pie filling. For this recipe simply combine a can of crushed pineapple and cherry pie filling in a 9×13 pan, top with yellow cake mix, and then top with slices of butter and bake to golden perfection. This cherry pineapple dump cake is the perfect combination of tart and sweet! I guarantee your family will love it.
