Dump Cake is a favorite in the South. It is actually more like a cobbler than a cake. It is so easy to make. All you do is dump the ingredients in a baking dish and bake. I don't think anything could be more simple. Its a great recipe to make with kids.
I had actually forgotten how good dump cake is until my Mother made one last week. It was so delicious. I think you will really enjoy it.
Dump Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
1 20 oz can cherry pie filling
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple
1 cup chopped pecans
1 & 1/2 sticks butter(12 tbs), cut into small bits
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 9x13 inch baking dish dump cherry pie filling and pineapple. Spread into a smooth layer. Then pour the dry cake mix over the fruit. Then top with pecans and butter. Bake for 1 hour. Dump Cake can be enjoyed either warm or cold. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

It is DELICIOUS! This was a staple at our church dinners when I was a kid. Soooo wonderful and easy!
OMG--I think I need to make this recipe tonight! There is nothing I love better than a good mixed berry or peach cobbler in summer, and you are right--this is a great winter substitute!
Bob,
My favorite at the church dinners was the strawberry and pretzel salad.
Bunny,
yum...peach cobbler. I can't wait till this summer.
I LOVE any dessert with cherry pie filling. This looks wonderful!
Wow, this does sound way too simple and it even looks great!
Bo, curiously, do you prefer the "biscuit top" cobbler approach or the "cakey batter" cobbler topping? This war is one that has raged on for Southern generations...lol! I, myself, am a cakey batter girl (with butter brushed on top for a little extra crusty goodness!).
I am a biscuit top fan when it is served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. But, with no ice cream I prefer the cakey batter. The cakey batter is much easier to make too and the butter brushed on top is a must.
Wow, I never thought of it that way, but you are so right. I think I am a fan of cakey batter because it is so much easier to make...I am a lazy baker!
wow what an easy cake...just dump it in lol. cherry filling sounds sweet and delicious!
thanks for sharing!
Hey, Bo, I made Dump Cake for the first time this weekend for a Movie Night with friends. And everyone LOVED it! So easy to make and quite delicious - thanks for sharing this recipe, which I will definitely make again.
Deep Dish,
I'm glad you liked it.
