Ingredients
- 21 oz Cherry pie filling
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 15.25 oz Yellow cake mix
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Pour the crushed pineapple (with its juice) over the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers, ensuring it covers the surface completely.
Slice the butter into thin pats and distribute them evenly over the dry cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the surface as possible for even baking.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the butter and cake mix layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow the dump cake to cool slightly before serving.
