Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Funfetti Cake Mix
- 1 can (20 oz) Crushed Pineapple in juice (do not drain)
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, thinly sliced into squares
- Optional: Extra rainbow sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a light coating of butter. Ensure the oven rack is in the center position for even heat distribution.
- Step 2: Layering the Fruit. Pour the entire can of crushed pineapple, including all the juice, into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer. The juice is essential as it provides the moisture needed to cook the dry cake mix.
- Step 3: Adding the Cake Mix. Open the Funfetti cake mix and sprinkle the dry powder evenly over the top of the pineapple layer. Do not stir the layers together! Use a spoon to gently level the dry mix so there are no large mounds, but keep the layers distinct to achieve that perfect dump cake texture.
- Step 4: Adding the Butter. Place the thin slices of butter across the entire surface of the dry cake mix. Try to cover as much of the dry powder as possible. As the cake bakes, the butter melts down into the mix, creating a rich, golden, bakery-style crust.
- Step 5: Baking. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. You will know it is done when the top is golden brown and the pineapple layer is bubbling around the edges. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
