Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake Recipe

March 29, 2019 by Lisa Pinney

I had not made one of these easy peasy delicious desserts in a while…

But if you need a dessert in a pinch this is always a hit!

You usually have  all the ingredients on hand…

You can use any type of pie filling–cherry, blueberry, strawberry, peach– the yummy possibilities are endless!

Just about any cake mix will do…yellow, butter, white, or the pineapple one I used…

I promise you just can’t go wrong!

You can even customize it

in your 9×13 pan to

please everyone…

Mom loves pecans –my kids do not…

so I added pecans,

a cup,

to one half..

then I spooned the can of

pineapple over the

entire pan…

my kids love cherry pie filling

and my mom loves it a little less…

so I added a little more than

1/2 the can to the kids side

and the remainder to Mom’s side…

You can also add a yellow or

white cake mix next…

but I adore the Duncan Hines Pineapple Supreme!

I believe it takes this cake up a notch!

layer the cake mix–dry–

gently over the fruit layer…

next you will melt your butter

and pour over the dry cake mix..

it will have nice buttery roads and

paths like this!

Bake on 350 degrees for

25-30 minutes…

it will be perfectly golden brown

and bubbly around the sides…

man oh man!!

 

When you dip the first spoonful

it is just gooey, yummy, fruity magic!

You can serve it with fresh whipped cream

or creamy vanilla ice cream..

or just plain and

piping hot right out of the oven!

And with the variations I made,

Mom was happy with her

pecans on the bottom of her side

and the boys were happy

that their side was plain and had

additional cherries!

Love it when it’s a win, win!!
