Description
This Easy Pineapple Dump Cake is a quick, fuss-free dessert made by layering crushed pineapple, brown sugar, cake mix, and melted butter — baked into a golden, gooey treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, with juice
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour crushed pineapple with juice into the dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over the pineapple without stirring.
- Evenly sprinkle dry cake mix over the top without mixing.
- Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix as evenly as possible.
- Bake for 1 hour, until top is golden and edges are bubbly.
- Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Do not stir layers — this helps create a crisp topping.
- Keep pineapple juice for proper moisture and baking texture.
- Try adding chopped nuts or shredded coconut before baking for extra crunch.
- Best served warm, but also tasty chilled with a pudding-like texture.
- Avoid freezing as it may affect texture after thawing.
