Aunt Jo’s Pineapple Dump Cake

Aunt Jo’s Pineapple Dump Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 – 20 oz crushed pineapple in pineapple juice, undrained. 
  • 1 – 20 oz pineapple chunks (or tidbits) in pineapple juice, undrained
  • 1/2 cup turbinado or light brown sugar
  • 15.25 oz box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Add both cans of pineapple with juices to a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the sugar on top of the pineapple layer. 
  •  Layer the dry cake mix on top of the sugar, spreading it out evenly.
  • Pour the melted butter on top of the cake mix, spreading it out as evenly as possible.  It’s ok if some areas are drier than others. 
  • Bake uncovered until the sides are bubbling and the top is golden, about 1 hour. Serve warm and top with vanilla or butter pecan ice cream.
