My First Dump Cake

 This morning I made my first dump cake (and definitely not my last).

set oven for 350 degrees

smear butter or nonstick spray on 9 x 13 pan

you just dump the various layers in evenly without any mixing

(1) two whole 20 oz cans of crushed pineapple and juice (or canned peaches, pie filling, etc.)

(2) add a cake mix layer on top of the fruit (yellow or white or spice) 

(3) then optionally add: cinnamon, walnuts, and/or brown sugar

(4) top it all with thin pats of butter or melted butter

bake for one hour

can be eaten still warm from the oven once it cooled a bit but store it in air tight containers or cover with plastic wrap in fridge

can be served warm or room temperature or cold optionally with whipped cream and/or ice cream
