This incredibly easy pineapple dump cake recipe only uses 4 ingredients, including cake mix & crushed pineapple. Make a super tasty dessert with a bright, fruity flavor!
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
Don't mix the layers...trust me on this one! This keeps the cake distinct from the fruit layer, creating a great texture and flavor combination. Everything will bake together, I promise.
Bake your cake uncovered to make sure the top gets nice and crispy.
This recipe can be made in a slow cooker...just know that the top won't be as crispy. Layer the ingredients as instructed and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours.
Stick with the 9x13" glass baking dish. This makes sure the ingredients spread properly and cook to the right consistency.
Refrigerate this cake after cooling. When you're ready to enjoy your cake again, reheat a serving in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
