This is another treasure from Mama's recipe box that she made countless times for family gatherings and church potluck dinners. It's called a "dump cake" because you literally just dump everything into a dish and bake it. I am not a fan of coconut (it's one of my LEAST favorite things!) so I never ate this very much but it was definitely a favorite dish in our family. My aunt makes it without the coconut so you can do that as well if you prefer. Hope you enjoy!
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 can cherry pie filling
1 box yellow cake mix (again, we're a Duncan Hines family so Mama always used Duncan Hine's Butter Recipe yellow cake mix)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup flaked coconut
2 sticks butter, very cold
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Pour pineapple into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
Pour cherry pie filling over pineapple.
Sprinkle cake mix on top of cherries.
Sprinkle pecans and coconut over cherries.
Cut butter into slices and put slices all over the top of the pecans and coconut.
Bake for 1 hour to an 1 hour and 15 minutes and you're done! See, told you it was simple! ;)
sheesh. a dessert recipe where you literally dump everything into a pan and throw it into the oven? do you have something like that for dinners that would feed a family of 10?!?!?!?!? -the washingon bff
