Cherry Dump Cake

Cherry Dump Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

1 can crushed pineapple (drained)
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1 package (18.25 ounces) plain yellow cake mix
12 tablespoons (1 ½ sticks butter, melted
½ Cup frozen unsweetened grated coconut, thawed
1 cup chopped pecans
Vanilla Ice Cream, for serving

Directions:

Place rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350.

Spoon the pineapple evenly over the bottom of an ungreased 13 by 9 inch baking pan.  Cover the pineapple
with the cherry pie filling.  Pour the dry cake mix evenly over the fruit mixture so that it reaches all the sides of
the pan.  Drizzle the entire pan with the melted butter.  Sprinkle the coconut and pecans evenly over the top of
the cake.  Place the pan in the oven.

Bake the cake till it is deep brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake until the cake topping
comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.  Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 10
minutes.

Spoon the warm dump cake into bowls, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve.

Store this cake, covered in plastic wrap, for up to 1 day in the refrigerator if using a metal pan, or for up to 1
week (if using a glass pan).
