Making The Dump Cake

Once you have your ingredients in front of you, you will can pull this cake together in 6 or 7 minutes. Next, you will need to melt the butter and distribute it evenly on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Then, you just have to layer the ingredients; starting with the pineapple juice, then the pineapples, next the cake mix, and then the cubed butter at the very top. Finally, just pop the pan in the oven and wait approximately 50 minutes before it will be done. While the cake is baking, you will LOVE that sweet smell coming from your oven.

Go all out and top the cake with either ice cream, homemade whipped cream, or both!
