This recipe is old and has many variations. It is an old favorite that be baked in an oven or around the campfire. It’s called Dump Cake because everything just gets dumped into the pan. Easy to make, and quick to bake. It never lasts long at this house.
CHERRY DUMP CAKE
- 1 large can crushed pineapple
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 box white or yellow cake mix
- 1 1/2 sticks of butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup of pecans ( or walnuts), chopped
Pre-heat solar oven while preparing the ingredients.
Dump pineapple into baking pan. Dump cherry pie filling on the top. Mix and spread evenly. Spread dry cake mix evenly over the top of the fruit. Chop the butter and spread pieces over the cake mix. Sprinkle nuts on the top. Bake in hot solar oven 2 -3 hours. (Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 45 min.)
Cherry Dump Cake just out of the solar oven
The amount of time to bake will vary depending on the type of solar being used, and how hot the oven temperature gets.

I have made these sump cakes before and have trouble with butter covering. I just got dump cake recipes from the crockpot ladies where they mix the butter with the cake mix and then spread it . You think this simpler way would work in my solar oven?
thanks
Hello Annie, I admit that I also have trouble getting the butter to cover the cake mix sometimes, but then I did when baking it in my kitchen oven too. If you mix the butter with the cake mix, are you talking about blending it in like shortening to make a crumble type top or do you mean mixing in melted butter to make a thick batter type top? Which ever way you intend, either of them would bake in the solar oven just fine. Thanks for stopping by. Merry
I genuinely love to consume dump cakes considering that it is definitely sweet and simple to create. My mother used to make dump cakes for myself and my daughter. All a person need are a few ingredients that can be easily purchased at the grocery store.
I remember those! Havin’t done one in years and remember loving it when I did. Gonna try this, again, with my fresh peaches coming in… Thanks for the reminder. Looks so good. Don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I almost never think of desserts. 😎
Unfortunately for my hips, I think of dessert almost all of the time. 🙂
