My mom used to make this when we were kids and I was looking for the recipe-which this simple version was it! Dump cake is so easy and tastes so good. If you haven't tried it you should.

Pretty good, we enjoyed it. It just didn't knock my socks off for me to make it again.

I love this cake. My fiance has been making this for years and his mom before that and so on and so on except we never use walnuts.

Really good, but sweeter than I expected. I had to use a pineapple supreme cake mix (all I had on hand), but just smelling it as it baked made me drool!! Definitely will do this again!

This recipe is incorrect as written. I followed the directions exactly and it came out terribly- soft, mushy, awful. I believe that you should not stir the ingredients until combined with the cake mix- do not stir the cake mix in at all in my opinion or you will have a mess. I made this for company and it was a big embarrassment. A real dissapointment.

Very soggy. Did not go over well at all. Flavors went well together, but it was lacking a lot.

I lost my old recipe so I searched and found this. The ingredients are the same. The only change is I mix the fruits together, sprinkle the cake mix, then nuts, on top of the fruit, and then drizzle melted butter over cake mix/nuts. It is delicious and everyone loves it.

This was great. My family does not like nuts so I left them out and this was still an amazing cake. I highly recommend it! It was even better the next day.

This is so quick and easy and tasty! I was looking for a recipe for dump cake that my aunt made years ago - it was the best. This recipe was really close and excellent. I made a few changes (as per what I remembered of my aunt's recipe). I used pecans instead of walnuts and also put the butter in sliced pats on tope of the cake before baking. My aunt also sometimes added two cans of pie filling - sometimes blueberry and cherry side by side. All in all, a great recipe - I highly recommend it.

This cake was so esy to make and so yummy . I did mix the pineapple and cherry pie filling together, then spread on the bottom of the pan. Then added dry cake mix on top, without mixing into fruit. Walnuts on top of cake mix then one and a half sticks of butter, cut into this pats all over the top. Makes your mouth water. Thanks for sharing your recepie. Kimmilu

This is the easiest and richest dessert to come out of an oven. We used to do this over the coals in the dutch oven too when camping. Very very rich, very sweet, a small portion goes a long way. I served this with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. The best part is this is served warm so not much waiting involved.

I am giving this 5 stars because I have never found a dump cake that I liked but I really LOVE this one. I added a can of drained tart pie cherries to the cherry pie filling and used a 20 oz can of pineapple, I have also made it with a small can and I couldnt tell the difference. I like to add about 2-3 tbsp. of lemon juice as well. I mixed about 1/3c. or so of the cake mix in with the filling just to give it some body. Then poured the rest of the cake mix on top. I just patted the butter on top but I did use a stick and a half instead of just one. I am making this again tonight, yum!! I think I might sprinkle just a little bit of cinnamon on the top right about 10 min. before its done.
