This Cake Mix Pineapple Dump Cake is one of my earliest recipes, first shared back in 2013, and it’s still a favorite in our house!
With just two simple ingredients—angel food cake mix and crushed pineapple—you can create a light, fluffy, tropical treat that everyone loves. It’s perfect for spring and summer cookouts, or anytime you need a quick, impressive dessert.
Every bite is sweet, zesty, and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
Why You’ll Love This Cake Mix Pineapple Dump Cake
- Simple & Quick To Make: It’s only two ingredients and comes together quickly. From start to finish, this cake can be ready to eat in 40 minutes or less, with 30’ish of those minutes being bake time.
- Pineapple! If you love pineapple, this dessert is for you!!!
- Make Ahead of Time: You can make this cake a day before you’re ready to serve. Just don’t add any toppings until you’re ready to slice and serve!
Cake Mix Pineapple Dump Cake Ingredients & Baking Tips
As I mentioned, this dessert comes together with just two ingredients. I recommend stocking up on both ingredients for keeping on hand when you need to whip up a treat last minute.
The toppings are optional. You can enjoy the cake straight out of the oven, or top it with whipped cream, powdered sugar, and a cherry or slice of pineapple!
- Angel Food Cake Mix: Make sure you use an Angel Food Cake Mix that that only requires water. The mixes that require eggs or other additional ingredients will not bake correctly.
- Baking Tip: Don’t grease your pan before adding the batter. This recipe works better without cooking spray!
- Cupcakes: Reduce your bake time to 25 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
- Crushed Pineapple: You’re going to use the entire can — no need to strain or drain it.
- Optional Toppings: The cake is so good on it’s own, but you can really make it sparkle by dusting some powdered sugar on top and serving each slice with a dallop of cool whip. Top with a cherry, slice of pineapple or coconut flakes. And if you really want to take it to the next level, serve it with a scoop of ice cream.
- Baking Dishes: For one cake, you’ll want to use a 9×13 baking dish or a Bundt pan. For two cakes, you can use two 8×8 baking dishes. The dish pictured in my recipe is an 8×8 baking pan. You can also use a muffin tin.
