Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz Yellow cake mix
- 15 oz Canned fruit cocktail (with juice)
- 20 oz Canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 3 cups Dried fruit mix (e.g., raisins, chopped candied cherries, or chopped dates)
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the canned fruit cocktail (with juice) and crushed pineapple (with juice) evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the dried fruit mix evenly over the canned fruits, followed by the chopped nuts.
Open the yellow cake mix and evenly sprinkle the dry mix over the fruit and nuts to form a layer. Do not stir.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and brown sugar evenly over the cake mix layer for added flavor.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the dry mix as possible.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove the dump cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
