Hence the name "dump cake"! There should be nothing complicated about this recipe. Put whatever you want in it! A lot of times I'll change the fruit up last one I did was pineapple and peaches with a lemon cake mix. It was awesome!!! I do put two sticks of butter on mine (not cut up, whole sticks) and bake for about 1 1/2 hrs. Don't mix it, don't cut your butter up! Just dump and go!

Clearly, I did something wrong. I ended up with a lot of dry cake powder. So I mushed the whole thing together and served with a good vanilla icecream. It wasn't bad but it was way too sweet for our tastes.

I love how easy this recipe is! I did not have cherries so I tried it with only a can of crushed pineapples (undrained) and it was amazing!

I love this recipe. I am sorry, I do mine a little bit different, I melt my butter and stir it in. I use the pineapple juice in the butter mixture. Then I smear it on top of the fruit and cook it for about 35 minutes or until it is lightly browned and nice and bubbly.

I've been making this for quite a while. I have always loved this and chopped walnuts add some crunch! I'm gonna follow the advice of others and add some coconut to the top of mine tonight, mmm! Thanks y'all!

No more excuses for not baking. Takes about 30 seconds to assemble and tastes great. This is also a wonderful recipe to make with children - virtually impossible to get it wrong and they have a great time, too!

YUM! Okay, so I took some advice from previous posters and made a few modifications of my own, but still super, super easy and yummy! I used butter pecan cake mix, melted the butter like suggested, used canned pineapple chunks in juice, & lite cherry pie filling. I also added some dried cranberries and raisins, however I cooked them for a minute or two in the microwave with some water because i was afraid they would absorb too much of the liquid needed for the cake. It really turned out great! The butter pecan cake topping was all I had on hand and was afraid the flavors might not work right, but wow, was it good! This will definitely be a keeper, and as easy as it is, it will be made often!

I also melt the butter on top and used one can applesauce instead of the cherries as my family isn't a big cherry fan. Delicious and Easy!

This recipe is missing one very important ingredient: instant vanilla pudding mix. Simply mix the pudding mix with the yellow cake mix before adding to the top of the fruit and add the butter as normal. This makes ALL the difference in the world.

I like this recipe. I also don't tell anyone how easy it is. To serve it I take the glass sundae cups cut a few pieces of cake at the bottom add a bit of ice cream and then a bit more cake and a bit more ice cream then put a bit of the cherry pie filling on top. Just enough for color actually. It looks like I actually spent sometime doing something. That is my motto on cooking even if it is easy give it a pazaz look when serving and the only ones that know the difference is someone else that actually cooks. Thank you for the recipe. I had it years ago and thought it was so easy I would remember it and after not making it for a while I forgot it. Hubby was thrilled and of course thought I spent all day making it. Served it after a nice hard roast beef dinner. hehehehe Plus my hair looked great that day. Got to give it to dump cake and slow cookers for the roast.

I use 1 bag of frozen blueberries instead of the cherries and I also use melted butter poured over the top instead. Delicious. One of my favorites and Super Easy to make.
