Make this incredibly simple Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake. You just dump the ingredients into the pan and bake for a warm, sweet fruit dessert perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
  • 2 cans (20 ounces each) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the two cans of crushed pineapple, including all the juice, evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Spoon the entire can of cherry pie filling over the pineapple layer. Do not mix the fruit layers.
  4. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers.
  5. Pour the melted butter over the dry cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
  6. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Let the cake cool slightly before serving. This is a great summer potluck dessert.

Notes

  • For an extra treat, serve this warm fruit dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.
  • This recipe is often called a four ingredient dessert if you skip the optional pecans.
  • This quick layered fruit dessert sets up beautifully and is a favorite Southern dump cake recipe.
