1-Getting started: with this pineapple dump cake is as easy as it gets, and it all begins with preheating your oven. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to keep things from sticking. Once that’s done, gather your ingredients so everything is ready to go.

2-Next, pour both cans of crushed pineapple, including all the juices, into the prepared dish for that essential fruity layer. Evenly sprinkle the 1/2 cup of brown sugar over the pineapple to add extra sweetness and depth. Follow that by sprinkling the entire box of yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces) over the brown sugar, making sure it’s spread out evenly without mixing.

3-Then, slowly pour the 1 cup of melted unsalted butter over the cake mix to cover it completely, which helps create a crispy top. Pop it into the oven and bake for 40 to 55 minutes until it’s bubbling and golden brown. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving, and enjoy it plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful finish.
