Drain the juice out of the can of crushed pineapple. *There will still be some left at the bottom of the can, but that is alright.

5
Pour the dry boxed cake mix evenly over the pineapple and cherry mixture.
6
Cut the butter into 10-12 slices and set a few inches apart on the top of the cake.
7
Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are golden and cake appears to be done.
8
Remove cake from the oven and set on a cooling rack.
9
Serve warm, or allow to cool completely before serving – up to you!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Drain Your Fruits Completely 🍍Reserve the pineapple juice but drain both fruits thoroughly before layering to prevent a soggy cake bottom and ensure the cake mix absorbs moisture evenly from above.
- Don't Overmix the Cake Layer 🥄Sprinkle the dry cake mix directly over the fruit without stirring—this creates a crispy, golden topping as the butter melts up through it during baking for superior texture.
- Use Cold Butter Cut into Pieces ❄️Cut the butter into small cubes and distribute evenly over the dry cake mix rather than melting it first; this ensures pockets of richness and creates a more textured, crumbly topping.
- Test Doneness at the Edges First 🔍The cake will finish cooking at the edges before the center, so check for golden-brown edges and a slightly jiggly center—it will set as it cools for perfect consistency.
- Let It Cool Before Serving 🧊Allow the dump cake to rest for 15-20 minutes after baking so the fruit juices set and the cake firms up, making it easier to serve and allowing flavors to meld beautifully.
