Here’s a rich, sweet, and super easy Gooey Amish Pineapple Dump Cake—no fancy steps, just layer and bake:
🍍 Gooey Amish Pineapple Dump Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 can (≈ 565–600g) crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 cup sugar (adjust depending on sweetness)
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup butter (melted or sliced thin)
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a baking dish.
- Bottom layer:
Spread crushed pineapple (with juice) evenly in the dish. Sprinkle sugar over it. - Creamy layer:
In a bowl, whisk cream cheese, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Pour gently over pineapple. - Cake mix layer:
Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly on top—don’t mix. - Butter topping:
Drizzle melted butter or place thin slices all over the top. - Bake:
Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
🍽️ Texture & taste:
- Bottom: juicy, tangy pineapple
- Middle: creamy and soft
- Top: slightly crisp, buttery crust
✨ Tips:
- Add shredded coconut or chopped nuts for extra texture
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for best flavor
- Don’t stir the layers—that’s what gives the “dump cake” its signature texture
If you want, I can share a less-sweet version, an eggless variation, or turn this into a pineapple coconut tropical cake 🍰
