This easy cherry pineapple dump cake combines sweet cherry pie filling, tangy crushed pineapple, and a buttery yellow cake topping for a simple yet irresistible dessert that comes together in minutes with no mixing required.

Ingredients

1 can cherry pie filling

1 can crushed pineapple, drained

1 box yellow cake mix

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Pour drained crushed pineapple evenly into the bottom of the baking dish and spread smoothly.
  3. Spoon cherry pie filling over the pineapple, spreading gently without mixing the layers.
  4. Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers, making sure the surface is fully covered.
  5. Drizzle melted butter evenly over the top to coat the dry cake mix as much as possible.
  6. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for crunch.

Sprinkle shredded coconut over fruit layers for added flavor.

Use pineapple chunks instead of crushed pineapple for a different texture.

Swap yellow cake mix for chocolate cake mix for a Black Forest-inspired twist.

Serve chilled or warm — both are delicious!
