Retro Tea: Dump Cake

Despite its name, Dump Cake is a quick and tasty treat. These cakes were so popular when I was a kid. Each baker would put her own spin on the cake by varying the fruit used. There is even a pumpkin dump cake. The recipe is from Betty Crocker herself. :)

1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained

1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). In large bowl, stir together cake mix and butter until crumbly; set aside.
2. Spread pie filling and pineapple in ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Sprinkle cake mix mixture evenly over fruit.
3. Bake 39 to 46 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm or cool. Store loosely covered.
