A Family Favorite Dessert: Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake
|
Hi Reader, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and this year, one dessert my family requested without hesitation is this Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake! This classic recipe is as easy as it is delicious—just the kind of treat that lets you spend more time with family and less time in the kitchen. With minimal prep and a foolproof mix of sweet cherries and juicy pineapple, this cake always hits the spot. We love topping it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that perfect warm-cool combo.
Here’s a quick tip to make sure every bite of this cake is buttery and golden: instead of slicing or dotting the butter on top, try grating frozen butter over the cake mix. This way, every part of the top gets an even layer of buttery goodness, resulting in a beautifully crisp and golden finish. I hope this recipe finds its way to your Thanksgiving table too! Happy baking, and enjoy the season! Tanya Harris Disclosure: If you purchase anything from the links in this email or others that I send, I may receive some kind of affiliate commission.

Hi Reader, Let me tell you—if I can spatchcock a turkey, anyone can! I used to think this method sounded way too fancy (or intimidating), but trust me, it’s simpler than you’d expect.
