This Pineapple Dump Cake is one of the easiest desserts you can make, but it tastes like something much more special. Sweet crushed pineapple, buttery cake mix, and melted butter bake together into a warm, fruity dessert with crisp golden edges and a soft, gooey center. It’s the kind of dessert that disappears fast at potlucks, holidays, and family dinners.
Since everything gets layered right into the baking dish, there’s almost no prep work involved. Just dump, bake, and serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for an easy dessert everyone will be asking you to make again.
Helpful Tips
- Make sure the melted butter covers as much of the cake mix as possible to avoid dry spots on top.
- Keep the pineapple undrained so there’s enough moisture for the cake mix to bake properly.
- Let the dump cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving so the filling has time to thicken slightly.
