Easy Dump Cake Recipe
Dump cake is one of my favorite desserts to make—and eat! It only requires a few simple ingredients, and it’s so quick and easy to make that children and first-time cooks can easily prepare it. Despite its simplicity however, dump cake is really a delicious dessert—I suggest keeping the ingredients stocked in your pantry at all times!
The recipe below is the classic version of dump cake, but you can easily experiment with flavors by using different types of fruit and/or different cake mix flavors. For example, you could use apple pie filling with spice cake, canned peaches with yellow cake, raspberry pie filling with chocolate cake, etc.
You can serve dump cake straight out of the oven, just allow it to cool for a few minutes to avoid burned tongues! It is fantastic served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Cook Time
Ingredients
- 1 20 ounce can crushed pineapple, undrained

Thanks! My mom used to make this for us all the time when I was a kid, I feel it is only right to keep the tradition going!
Yum, I love dump cake. It's also good for camping, because all the ingredients are packaged and you can just throw it together in a pot over the coals.
