Dump Cake

Ok, I had to do it. Thanks to Sarah and Jen for turning me on to this recipe. You can find different variations of this recipe all over the internet, but here is the one we use (the one they taught me, actually).

*Dump Cake*

1 Can Crushed Pineapple, Undrained
1 Can Cherry Pie Filling
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
1 Stick Butter


1. Put pineapple evenly in bottom of 13x9in baking dish, then put cherry pie filling on top of that. (Spread evenly.)
2. Dump cake mix evenly on top of fruit.
3. Thinly slice butter, then place it on top of cake mix.
4. Let sit at room temperature for 30 min - 1 hr.
5. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 - 40 minutes, until golden brown.

This is what it looks like before it goes into the oven:

And this is how scrumpdiddleumptious it looks right before it is to be devoured:

Notes: I will be honest with you...I have no idea how to make this without the boxed cake mix, so if you're the type of person who makes food only from complete scratch, you're on your own there (mainly because I'm just not smart enough). Also, make sure to NOT drain the pineapple! It makes for an extremely dry cake if the pineapple juice is not there. You also don't have to let it sit for an hour, it just seems to brighten up the flavor when done so. My husband calls this cobbler. I suppose it tastes a little like a cobbler, only I think it's better! Oh, and sorry about the non-elegant instructions (I never claimed to be an English major), and sorry about the crappy cell phone photo. Hope you enjoy the cake! It goes great with ice cream.
