Vegan Pineapple Upside-Down Dump Cake

By , About.com Guide

I love dump cakes! With just a few simple ingredients added to a basic yellow cake mix, this pineapple-upside down "dump" cake is ready to pop into the oven in just two minutes. Its called a "dump" cake because that's what you do! No mixing needed, just dump the ingredients right into the cake pan! If you're vegan, be sure to use a vegan cake mix, such as Duncan Hines.

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 27 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can crushed pineapple, undrained (20 oz)
  • 1 can fruit pie filling (cherry or blueberry or your choice, 20 oz)
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup vegan margarine, softened
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Preparation:

In a greased pie pan, dump the pineapple, then the pie filling. On top of that, dump the cake mix. Drizzle or crumble the vegan margarine on top of the cake mix, and, if desired, sprinkle with nuts and brown sugar.

Bake according to directions on box.

Enjoy your two minute pineapple upside-down dump cake - no frosting needed!

An easy, delicious, vegan dessert!, Guest tkosleuth

I had never heard of a ""dump cake"" before, but now that I have I will make this and others like it as much as I can! I pretty much followed the recipe, and I actually thought it had a little too much vegan butter in it. I didn't add sugar or nuts to it although nuts would be a good addition. It did seem a little runny, so I baked it a little longer. I baked it about 40-45 mins versus 30 mins. Next time I'll probably just get any type of diced fruit instead of crushed so I can drain a little bit of the juice out. A slight change: I used leftover cranberry sauce instead pie filling. It worked quite well and I like the combination of pineapple and cranberry.
