How To Use Canned Pineapple For An Easy And Delicious Dump Cake

The concept of a dump cake is simple: take all of your ingredients and dump them into a dish to bake. Making a dump cake with canned pineapple simplifies the process even further.

Adding canned pineapple to your dump cake has two primary purposes here. Firstly, it adds moisture that will give your cake a tender crumb.

Second, canned pineapple adds taste. Pineapple is sweet with a naturally tart edge, making it the perfect flavor balance for a cake that might be too saccharine on its own.

It's easy to add: simply pop the top on a can and dump its contents into a dish. Add the canned pineapple to the pan before anything else, and don’t drain the juice out.
