🍍 Pineapple Dump Cake
A super easy “dump and bake” dessert—no mixing bowls, no fancy steps. Just layer everything and bake. It comes out like a buttery pineapple cobbler-cake hybrid.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 can (400–500g) crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 box yellow cake mix (or vanilla cake mix)
- ½–1 cup butter (melted or thinly sliced)
- ½ cup brown sugar (optional, for extra caramel flavor)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Optional toppings: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the dish
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
- Grease a baking dish (9×13 inch works best)
2. Dump the pineapple
- Pour crushed pineapple (with juice) into the dish
- Spread evenly—don’t drain it
3. Add cake mix
- Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the pineapple
- Do NOT mix it in
4. Add butter
- Drizzle melted butter all over the top
(or place thin slices to cover as much as possible)
Optional: sprinkle brown sugar + cinnamon for deeper flavor.
5. Bake
- Bake for 40–50 minutes
- Top should be golden and slightly crispy
- Edges will bubble and caramelize
🍽️ Serve
- Let it cool slightly
- Serve warm with:
- vanilla ice cream 🍦
- whipped cream
🍍 Result
You get a warm, gooey, caramelized dessert built around sweet Pineapple, with a buttery cake topping that forms itself while baking—like magic with zero effort.
