This Pineapple Upside Down Dump Cake is a family favorite! It only has 5 ingredients and takes about 5 minutes to make. Seriously! I love quick and easy dessert recipes like this! This cake will be a staple in our house all summer long. Our favorite part of the whole cake is the topping. OMG! I could just make the topping and serve it with some ice cream and be a happy camper!
How To Make Pineapple Upside Down Dump Cake
This cake is super easy to make. Just dump the pineapple and cherries in the bottom of the cake pan. Top with some brown sugar and cake mix. Finally, top with butter and bake. No mixing, no extra dirty dishes, no spoons, just one pan. I had this ready to bake before my oven preheated! Woohoo!
Just a note about the cake mix. Do not make the cake. You are going to use the dry cake mix straight out of the box.

Can I use angel food cake mix?
I don’t know. I’ve only made the recipe as written.
Did you use crushed, chunked or tidbits? I’m sure they will all work just curious if it matters. I can’t wait to make this!! Thanks for sharing

I’m wondering if a lemon flavored cake mix would taste good?
can I use maraschino cherries in this dessert like I would in a traditional pineapple upside down cake?
That is what I used
This looks so yummy and I’m hoping to try it out sometime. I have a pineapple cake mix that I think would be great for this. Also, by cherries, you mean maraschino cherries right? It might reduce confusion by specifying that because it looks like some people are using cherry pie filling. Maraschino cherries come in 10 oz jars which is what clued me in (but not everyone will know that). All in all, looks delish!
The list of ingredients above actually says Maraschino cherry
