The answer is both “Yes!” and “Uh, not really.” \u00a0The ingredients and process is ridiculously easy and simple. \u00a0A monkey could make this. \u00a0A stupid monkey could make this. \u00a0Cake mix, a can of crushed pineapple, a can of cherry pie filling and a stick of butter. \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dump it all in a 9×13 pan and…bake. \u00a0Crazy easy. \u00a0Sorry about this picture! \u00a0I was having fun with photoshop.<\/p>\n

I took a little corner of the cake and ate it plain and it was tasty. \u00a0Then I made myself a plate with a scoop of dump cake and a scoop of Bluebell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. \u00a0A yummy and nostaligic dessert, but probably not something I will make very often in the future. \u00a0Dump cake is a good dessert for a crowd since it is cheap, easy, quick and I can’t really think of anyone who wouldn’t like it, unless they don’t like pineapple. \u00a0I thought about adding coconut and pecans to the topping, but I wanted to make the simple dump cake that I remember having when I was younger. \u00a0I found a lot of variations for this recipe…different fruits, different types of cake mix, and various toppings. \u00a0I may try those sometime.<\/p>\n

The verdict on dump cake…fine. \u00a0A 7 out of 10. \u00a0I think my tastebuds prefer from scratch baked goods more than a dessert which uses cake mix as one of its main ingredients. \u00a0I will always like cake mixes, but when given the option I will go for a homemade dessert.<\/p>\n
