Ingredients
- 1 can 21 oz cherry pie filling
- 1 can 21 oz crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 box yellow cake mix dry
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking dish lightly. This prevents sticking and ensures even baking.
Layer the Cherry Pie Filling
- Open the cherry pie filling and pour it evenly into the baking dish. Spread it carefully to cover the bottom completely.
Add Crushed Pineapple
- Drain the crushed pineapple and pour it over the cherry filling. Spread evenly for a sweet, fruity base.
Sprinkle Cake Mix
- Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the fruit layers. Do not mix. The cake will form a crust as it bakes.
Add Butter
- Drizzle melted butter evenly over the cake mix. This helps the cake cook and makes the top golden and crispy.
Add Pecans (Optional)
- Sprinkle chopped pecans on top for added crunch. This step is optional but gives extra flavor and texture.
Bake the Cake
- Place the baking dish in the oven. Bake for 50 minutes. The top should be golden and the fruit bubbling around the edges.
Cool Slightly
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. This helps the cake set slightly and makes it easier to serve.
Serve and Enjoy
- Scoop the cake into bowls. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use fresh butter for better flavor
- Do not mix the layers for true dump cake texture
- Try different fruit combinations like peach or blueberry
- Sprinkle nuts for extra crunch
- Serve warm for the best taste
- Use a 9x13 inch pan for even baking
