I love, love, love this recipe!! It is sooo easy and sooo yummy! Add a little cool whip to the top if you want or eat it plain and either way, it is great!

Something that I like to do with dump cakes is to add about a 1/4 cup of sugar on top of the pie fillings, also I use a White cake opposed to Yellow(not as swwet). Adding walnuts is also a great idea to keep people coming back for more!

This is the easiest dessert ever! I always make this for my husband except with peaches. He loves it with ice cream. It gets a little too sweet for me if I have too much, but it's very good. I make it all the time.

I made this cake one day just because it looked easy and interesting, my son loved it. I have been making it as his "birthday cake" every year since then, sometimes changing the fruit filling. He LOVES it, even has his girlfriend asking me for it now...incredibly easy. Very "cobbler" like.

You want it to come out rich? Sweet? Mild? Blah? The difference is in the ingredients. I have been making this for years and have found a great difference in the taste. Cherry pie fillings come in different types... (Use a good brand like Comstock)Sweet cherries, tart cherries, dark red cherries... the regular cherries don't have enough bang. And if a cheap brand of pineapple packed with water is used at the same time, the whole thing will come out blah! Sweet cherries and syrup packed pineapple will make it very sweet and will need to be served in small pieces with whipped cream or icecream to make it enjoyable. Sweet cheries can be offset by the wateer packed pineapple and make it mildly sweet. So you can work around what you have. Cheap cake mix, tastes like cheap cake mix. This works better with a rich major brand mix. If that is all you have, mix a teaspoon of Vanilla to the pineapple, and take a 1/4 cup of the cakemix out before sprinkling it on top. This gives you a higher fruit to cake ratio, but it will turn out better. For a denser cake, try a good brand of brownie mix. The chocolate and cherrirs are a great match! I spread the pineapple on the bottom and sprinkle the cherries on top of that. Also, I sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the cake mix before adding the slices butter. Do yourself a favor and use butter, not marjarine or 'spread'. Your top will be slightly crusty, browned and the whole thing will be rich and satisfying. Bake it wil love!

This was a good cake, it's not too sweet, but just enough with a glass of wine. Tip: 1/2 cup of butter is not enough. I did 1 cup of butter and that was perfect, I also added coccanut to the top the last 5 minutes, this made it so good.

This was pretty good- different. I had never had this before even though I know it's an old recipe. I used pineapple and the cherry pie filling and it countered the sweetness of the cake..it satisfies a sweet tooth for sure and it's super easy. Not something I would take to a potluck though- not fancy enough for me.

Perfection. So simple and easy and cheap- but not lacking any flavor. One of my favorite desserts ever!

I love pineapple upside down cake so I put in one can (20 oz minus about 3 T juice) of crushed pineapple (unsweetened) and sprinkled brown sugar over it. I didn't put anymore filling with it. Sprinkled the cake mix over it along with chopped walnuts and butter and baked 55 minutes. I tried grating the butter and it does work. Next time I'll put the butter in the freezer for a while so it is firmer and not so messy.

I make this recipe all the time. It travels well and everyone always enjoys it. My mom likes blueberry and prefer cherry. Our recipe calls for a cup of crushed pecans and a stick of butter sliced all over the cake prior to baking. If you are looking for a desert your child can bake, this is it. And its great for those who are big on sweets but enjoys a fruity desert

This was wonderful. Everybody loved it! The only thing i would do next time is mix the cake mix and melted butter together and then put it on top of the fruit just because some of the crust stayed dry and crumbly even though i put little pats of butter all over the cake! Note that this did not keep anyone from devoring the cake.

Took this to Christmas at my mom's and they loved it! I only put in 3/4 cakemix and you definatley much melt the butter and pour on top. I also popped it uder the broiler at the very end for a min. or two. Nice and slightly crisp(I wanted to add a faux crust). YUMMY!

OMG!!!

My mom's made this for years and it's still one of my favorites! Definitely doesn't sound like a down home comfort food but just try it!

delicious!!!!!! im going 2 make every week it had a great taste and my whole family loved it as well!! its super easy! my mum hadnt baked in years but she decided to start with this - and everyone loved it! i rate it 5 stars = "the Best!"

This was wonderful! Very moist and delicious. I would use a little less butter on top of the cake however. I served it warm with whipped cream.

Very good and so easy! If you have a sweet tooth, this is for you.

This is a great cake....My version of this cake is a little different. I use chocolate cake mix (mmmm....) and I add whole pecans to the top of the cake before I put the sliced butter on top. Also, it is not necissary to mix the pineaplle and cherries together. Layering will do just fine.
