Dump Cake

Dessert

Recipe courtesy of Nancy Wilson for Louisiana Kitchen & Culture

Serves 12

Ingredients: 

This cake seems to have been the busy homemaker’s answer to a quick and easy dessert. By definition, it is not a cake, but it is made with some off-the-grocery-shelf prepared products that made it an easy answer to a dessert that the whole family could enjoy. Many variations followed this initial recipe, including one made with spice cake mix and apple pie filling.

  • 1 large can crushed pineapple
  • 1 can cherry pie filling
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 sticks butter or margarine, melted
  • ½ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
  • vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
