Ingredients:

  • 1 (20 ounce / 567g) can crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 (21 ounce / 595g) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 (15.25 ounce / 432g) package yellow cake mix
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Spread the crushed pineapple evenly in the prepared baking dish, including the juice. Top with the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly over the pineapple.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the fruit. Do not mix.
  5. Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Try to cover as much of the dry mix as possible.
  6. Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts evenly over the top, if using.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs. This dump cake recipe is ready when it's golden brown!
  8. Let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. It's best served warm!
