Slow Cooker Pineapple Dump Cake
My husband surprised me late at night that we were having guests the next day for lunch.
Luckily, the guest were bringing lunch but I needed a quick dessert. I had a plastic container full of crushed pineapple that was given to me the day before. I checked my pantry and found a box of yellow cake mix.
I rifled through my collection of cookbooks and found a recipe for pineapple and cherry dump cake, but alas, I did not have a can of cherry pie filling.
So what’s a girl to do? I winged it and hoped for the best.
And you know what? It was a huge hit with our guests.
The pineapple flavor mixed well with the cake mix and did not overpower it.
All in all a success for a dessert that I put together on the fly and didn’t have to drive to the grocery store for.
A winner in my book!

Yum! This cake looks so yummy! And I love that it’s only four ingredients!
Cut the butter in HALF! A full cup is waaaay too much. Doesn’t bake in two hours. So far mine has been baking for 2 1/2 hours and it’s still butter SOUP!
Can you use pineapple rings cut up for this recipe ? Do you use juice also ? Thanks
This recipe calls for canned crushed pineapple. We have not tested it with cut up pineapple rings. If you try it out let us know how it turns out.
I made it for my neighbors Birthday! It was good. Quite rich. I had a 20 oz can of cut pineapple. I tossed that in blender and crushed. (Took out 6oz I’m saving to top ice cream!). We both enjoyed it and I had all ingredients here.
So happy you enjoyed the recipe Cindy and happy birthday to your neighbor!
I made this using fresh pineapple that was already cut up in chunks., but I cut those in half. I had a BOGO free for the pineapple so that came in handy. I took to heart what someone said about too much butter so I used one stick melted. It was perfect. I also added about two spoons of brown sugar and chopped walnuts. Both sprinkled over the pineappke. This was an amazing dessert! I topped it with real whipped cream. Yum.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Colline!
I made this with pineapple tidbits. I added shredded coconut and used 1 tbs. brown sugar. It was delicious.took about 2 hrs. will make this again.
Awesome Sandi! The addition of coconut sounds fantastic!
