Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake



My grandma used to make a strawberry rhubarb dump cake... delicious. Frog Prince has an allergy to strawberries... and loves cherries. So, we recreated a family favorite using pineapple and cherries!

Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake - Finding Joy in My Kitchen (modified from Grandma!)

1 can cherry pie filling (or you can make your own)
1 can crushed pineapple (or your can crush fresh pineapple)
1 yellow cake mix (or you can make your own)
1/4 - 1/2 C butter

Mix together 1 box of dry yellow cake mix with butter until it is crumbly (alternatively, you can slice the butter really thin and at the end, layer it over the top of the cake).


Mix together cherry pie filling and pineapple (yes, with the juice).


Pour into the bottom of a 9x13 glass pan.


Sprinkle cake mix topping over the top of the fruit (here's where you'd lay the butter over the top if you opted for that approach)


Bake at 350 for 45 min - 1 hour, or until top is lightly browned and cake is bubbly.


Serve warm with ice cream, or with whipped cream. Eat cold too... really, at any time.

  13. Making a dump cake is one of my favorite dessert recipes to make. It is so easy, and so inexpensive, to make. My children love to eat it with a scoop of ice cream while the cake is still warm

  14. You are my new Best Foodie Friend for posting this. I have a cherry pie filling sitting in my pantry and I haven't used it. YEA!! Would you use the same amount of strawberries for those of us who love them? :)
