Simple Vegan Dump Cake

This is my favorite thing to make when I have a sweet tooth but don’t feel like making a complicated recipe!

This cake is the perfect combination of sweet & citrusy, and soft with a bite! Plus, it takes no effort to make, and you won’t have a big kitchen mess to clean up. I make this when I want some dessert, but I don’t want to get 10+ ingredients and dishes out. Oh, and once when we realized we forgot to get/make a birthday cake at 7 PM. (Sorry, Mom!)

Ingredients:

• 1 can crushed pineapple
• 1 can cherry pie filling
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1 cup vegan butter
• 2 cups shredded coconut
• optional: 2 cups pecan pieces

Method:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F/177 degrees C, and lightly grease a 9×13 baking pan. Completely melt the butter.
• Add the pineapple to the pan first and spread it out.
• Add the cherry pie filling and spread it out.
• Add the yellow cake mix and completely cover the fruit.
• Add the melted butter, making sure all of the cake mix is completely covered. If there are spots that are dry, they won’t cook properly.
• Add the coconut, spread it out, and add the pecans if using.

• Bake for 50 minutes, until the sides are bubbly and the top is slightly browned. Cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
• That’s it! Enjoy & share.
