Pineapple Dump Cake 🍍☀️
Sweet, sunny, and so easy — this tropical treat is buttery, gooey, and golden delicious in every bite! 😋
Ingredients:
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 can (21 oz) pineapple chunks or pie filling (optional for extra texture)
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Layer the Pineapple:
Pour the crushed pineapple (and pineapple chunks, if using) into the dish — spread evenly. - Add the Cake Mix:
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pineapple layer — don’t stir! - Add Butter and Toppings:
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top. If desired, sprinkle with shredded coconut and nuts. - Bake:
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly. - Cool and Serve:
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm — plain, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream! 🍨
Tips:
- For extra tropical flavor, add a few tablespoons of pineapple juice before baking.
- You can use white or butter cake mix instead of yellow.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days — it’s delicious cold too!
