**Gooey Amish Pineapple Dump Cake**
This is more of a “recipe” because it’s so simple, you barely need one! Perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike.
**Prep time:** 5 minutes
**Bake time:** 45 minutes
**You’ll need:**
-
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
-
* 1 box (around 15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
-
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
**Instructions:**
-
**Preheat & Prep:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
-
2. **Pineapple Power:** Open your can of crushed pineapple and pour it directly into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly to cover the bottom. Don’t drain the juice – that’s part of the magic!
-
3. **Cake Mix Magic:** Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the crushed pineapple. Don’t mix it in! Just create a nice, even layer.
-
4. **Butter Bliss:** Drizzle the melted butter over the dry cake mix, making sure to cover as much of the surface as possible. Again, no stirring required!
-
5. **Bake to Perfection:** Pop that dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges. The cake mix will absorb the pineapple juice and butter, creating that amazing gooey texture.
-
6. **Cool & Enjoy:** Let it cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. It’s delicious served warm on its own, or jazz it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
Trust me, this cake is an absolute game-changer. Tag a friend who needs this easy dessert in their life!
