Dump Cake

Original Recipe from:  Virginia Bowers-Johnson

The cake is great any time of the year, but particularly refreshing in the summer.  It was very popular in the 70’s and 80’s.  Everyone was making this cake back then….and then it fell out of popularity.  Like clothing fashions, recipes tend to run in cycles.  Then someone comes along and makes a dish from the past and we wonder why we stopped making it.  I found that to be true with this cake.  Make one and see for yourself just how tasty and different it is.  It’s the easiest cake to make you will ever make.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 can (20 ounces) Crushed Pineapple

1 can (20 ounces) Cherry Pie Filling

1 package white or yellow Cake mix

2 sticks Butter or Margarine

1/2 to 1 cup chopped Nuts, any kind, optional (I use Walnuts)

Whipped Cream

Directions

Butter the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. 

Dump crushed Pineapple in the pan and spread it evenly. 

Dump Cherry Pie Filling in and spread it over the Pineapple. 

Dump Cake Mix right from the package over the pie filling.  Note:  Do Not mix the cake as directed, just dump the powder mix in the pan.

Slice sticks of Butter or Margarine into pats, and arrange them evenly over the Cake Mix.  Sprinkle the Nuts over the mixture.

Bake in 350 degree oven for about an hour. 

Serve topped with Whipped Cream.
