Description
A classic homemade cherry dump cake made with crushed pineapple, cherry pie filling, buttery cake mix, and pecans. Gooey, sweet, and irresistibly easy.
Ingredients
1 (16 oz) can crushed pineapple (do not drain)
1 (28 oz) can cherry pie filling
1 (18 oz) box yellow cake mix
1 cup chopped pecans
1 stick butter, sliced thin
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×11-inch baking pan.
2. Spread crushed pineapple evenly across the bottom of the pan.
3. Add cherry pie filling over the pineapple and spread evenly.
4. Mix chopped pecans into dry cake mix and sprinkle evenly over fruit.
5. Place butter slices evenly across the top of the cake mix.
6. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
7. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
8. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Do not drain the pineapple—it adds flavor and moisture. Substitute chocolate cake mix for a decadent twist or add shredded coconut for tropical flavor. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
