Time for The Tips!

Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake Recipe

  • Warm or room temperature is the best way to enjoy your dump cake.
  • Any kind of butter will work in this recipe, salted or unsalted.
  • If the middle of the cake jiggles when you gently shake the pan, it’s done. When you check for movement and see none, it means your cake is done.
  • To make a dump cake more like a crisp instead of a cobbler, add 1/2 cup of oats to the cake batter before pouring it into the baking dish.
  • Instead of slicing the cold butter, you might just pour the melted butter over the cake mix.
  • Feel free to use any canned fruit you choose in place of the cherries.
