Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 42 oz Cherry pie filling
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 15.25 oz Yellow cake mix
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Add the crushed pineapple (with the juice) on top of the cherry pie filling, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Distribute the shredded sweetened coconut evenly over the cake mix layer.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the top of the coconut layer, making sure most of the cake mix is moistened.
If using chopped pecans or walnuts, sprinkle them over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling slightly along the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the dump cake cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
