Easy Pineapple Cherry Dump Cake Recipe
A fuss-free dessert made with canned pineapple, cherry pie filling, yellow cake mix, and butter. This dump cake is sweet, buttery, golden, and surprisingly delicious with minimal effort.
- 1 can 20 oz crushed pineapple with juice
- 1 can 21 oz cherry pie filling
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick, sliced into thin pats
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the crushed pineapple with juice evenly in the dish.
Spoon cherry pie filling over the pineapple—no need to be perfect.
Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix evenly on top. Do not stir.
Arrange butter slices over the mix. Sprinkle nuts if using.
Bake for 45–50 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
