I made this for a potluck I attended a while back and it was a total hit! It’s like all the best things about pineapple upside down cake and Dutch oven cobblers all rolled into one. And it is seriously the easiest recipe to make.
They call it dump cake for a reason. I’d even trust Monkey Boy to make it, and that’s saying something!
Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake Recipe
Description
I made this for a potluck I attended the a while back and it was a total hit! It’s like all the best things about pineapple upside down cake and dutch oven cobblers all rolled into one. And it is seriously the easiest recipe to make. They call it dump cake for a reason. I’d even trust Monkey Boy to make it, and that’s saying something!
Ingredients
1 {21 oz} can cherry pie filling
1 {15 oz}can crushed pineapple
1 yellow cake mix
8 ounces of walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Dump cherries and pineapple into the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish and mix to combine. Sprinkle cake mix over fruit and stir until just combined. Sprinkle with nuts and drizzle evenly with butter.
Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes or until a toothpick entered into the center of the cake comes out clean.

“sprinkle with butter and drizzle with butter” ??? Maybe you meant “sprinkle with pecans” ???

Ha! Sprinkle with NUTS…. drizzle with butter. 🙂 Oh my.

I meant to say that this recipe makes my mouth water.

I’ve made this, using sour cherries that I pitted and froze. I had one piece. My HH ate the entire rest of the cake and told me how good it was every time he ate a piece. It sure makes me wonder why I bother spending several hours making some desserts from scratch, I must say.

“sprinkle with butter and drizzle with butter”
So, what you’re saying is, you use a lot of butter? LOL 😀
I would really love to use “cake mix” recipes, but gluten-free cake mixes aren’t dump-and-go like regular cake mixes are, and they only make half a cake. Plus, in my area, a box costs near to $6.

I have used this same recipe for years. The only thing I do differently is a) use the Duncan Hines butter recipe cake mix (just seems to taste better) and drain the pineapple juice into the saucepan with the butter. Sometimes I would get those dry spots on the cake mix, after adding the juice to the butter it mostly eliminated that problem.

I’ve used something very similar for years. Instead of nuts, I use sweetened coconut flakes. I also don’t mix mine, I just layer it. So pineapple, then cherries, cake mix, coconut and then pour butter all over. YUM! My family loves it.
