“D” is for Dump Cake

This is the second recipe celebrating Gavin learning the letter “D” this week in preschool. I definitely prefer eating Dump Cake rather than Dirt Pie.

You have probably had this “cake” or something like it in the past. It has four ingredients and, frankly, tastes just wonderful. Plus it makes your house smell so good that you’ll be wishing there was a scented candle designed after it. How do you think a candle named “Dump Cake” would sell? I’d buy it!

Dump in the cherry pie filling.

Then dump in the crushed pineapple, juice and all.

Mix together until the cherries and the pineapple become best friends and learn to share.

Dump the dry cake mix on top…

…and spread across the top until evenly distributed.

This is a stick and a half of butter.  REAL butter.  Not margarine.

Cut the butter into ‘pats’ and place on top of the dry cake mix.

Bake at 350-degrees for 45 minutes-1 hour.  The top will be golden and crunchy.

Look how delightfully delicious and delectable this dessert has become.

Don’t wait.  Dish it up and top it off with a dollop of cream or a daring scoop of ice cream. Dig in.
