Description

This Dump Cake with Pineapple is a quick and easy dessert that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor. With layers of juicy crushed pineapple, sweet brown sugar, yellow cake mix, and melted butter baked to golden perfection, it’s a luscious treat perfect for any occasion. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a delightful indulgence.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cans crushed pineapple (20 ounces each, undrained)
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Add pineapple layer: Pour the entire contents of the crushed pineapple cans, including the juices, into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  3. Sprinkle brown sugar: Evenly distribute the brown sugar over the pineapple layer to add sweetness and depth of flavor.
  4. Add cake mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix powder evenly over the brown sugar, covering the entire surface.
  5. Pour melted butter: Slowly drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the cake mix layer, ensuring it covers all areas for even baking and moisture.
  6. Bake the cake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 55 minutes until the fruit mixture bubbles around the edges and the top is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Rest the cake: Remove from the oven and allow the dump cake to rest for about 10 minutes. This helps it set slightly for easier serving.
  8. Serve: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream to complement the sweet and tangy pineapple flavors.

Notes

  • Using undrained pineapple is key to keep the cake moist and flavorful.
  • Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; check for bubbling fruit and golden edges as indicators of doneness.
  • Feel free to substitute yellow cake mix with white or spice cake mix for a flavor variation.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free cake mix.
  • This dessert can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; reheat before serving for best results.
