The beauty of a Pineapple Dump Cake—often a staple at Amish potlucks—is its “set it and forget it” nature. There is no mixing bowl required; you literally “dump” the ingredients directly into the baking pan.
It creates a buttery, golden crust on top of a bubbly, sweet fruit base. Here is the classic, foolproof method.
The Ingredients
-
2 cans (20 oz each) Crushed pineapple in juice (do not drain!)
-
1 box (15.25 oz) Yellow cake mix
-
¾ cup (1.5 sticks) Unsalted butter, thinly sliced into squares
-
Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
