I love desserts with pineapple like our Southern Pig Pickin’ Cake. I’m also a big fan of dump cakes like my fruit cocktail dump cake, apple pie dump cake, sweet potato dump cake, or lemon lime dump cake, and this delightfully delicious cherry pineapple dump cake.

Why I love this recipe

I love that you just dump some ingredients in a baking dish, pour over cake mix, and top with a buttery mix, and bake.

Boom!

Five minutes prep and this cherry pineapple dump cake is in the oven! It is full of tart cherries and tangy pineapple, then topped with a buttery cake layer, and baked until bubbly and golden!
