 Preparation Time: about 50 minutes

 Extra Tips for the Best Dump Cake

● Do not drain the pineapple: The juice creates the saucy, gooey base.

● Rustic is perfect: A few dry cake mix spots on top are normal and add texture.

● Even butter = better browning: Drizzle slowly so most of the cake mix gets moisture.

● Want upgrades? Add shredded coconut, chopped pecans, or serve with vanilla ice cream.

● Serving vibes: Amazing warm, but just as good the next day.
