4 Ingredient Pineapple Dump Cake
This pineapple dump cake is the easiest fruity dessert you'll ever make, with just 4 ingredients, including cake mix and crushed pineapple. Sweet, simple, and ready in minutes!
Ingredients
- 40 oz canned crushed pineapple in heavy syrup
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1.5 sticks butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Pour pineapple in a single layer in the baking dish.
- On top of the pineapple, sprinkle the cake mix. Don't mix into the pineapple!
- Slice butter into ¼" slices. Layer over the top of the cake mix.
- Sprinkle pecans on top of cake mix and butter.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and fruit is bubbly. Serve warm, topped with ice cream.
Notes
- Store in the fridge for 3–4 days - cover tightly to keep out odors.
- Reheat individual servings in the microwave for ~30 seconds.
- Don’t freeze - the cake layer gets soggy and loses its crisp texture.
- Don’t mix layers - this keeps the cake and fruit layers distinct for better texture.
- Bake uncovered so the top gets crispy.
- Slow cooker option: Layer as instructed and cook on high for 2–3 hours (top won’t be as crisp).
- Use a 9x13" glass baking dish for even cooking and proper texture.
- Cake is done when the top is golden and fruit is bubbling around the edges.
