Toss crushed pineapple into slow cooker. This dish doesn’t get easier! Only 3 ingredients

There’s something truly comforting about a dessert that brings smiles to everyone’s faces with minimal effort. This Slow Cooker 3 Ingredient Pineapple Dump Cake is a delightful treat that you can whip up with just a few pantry staples. Originating from the idea of ‘dump cakes’ where you simply dump ingredients into a pan, this version is perfect for busy families. It’s a sweet, tangy, and buttery dessert that will have your loved ones asking for seconds. Perfect for those days when you want to enjoy a homemade dessert without spending hours in the kitchen.

This pineapple dump cake is a wonderful dessert on its own, but if you’re looking to make it extra special, consider serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The creaminess complements the sweet and tangy flavors beautifully. For a bit of texture, you can also sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts on top. It’s a versatile dessert that pairs well with a light, refreshing salad or a simple grilled chicken dinner.

1 box yellow cake mix
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1. Grease the inside of your slow cooker with a bit of butter or non-stick spray.

2. Pour the entire can of crushed pineapple with its juice into the bottom of the slow cooker.

3. Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pineapple.

4. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.

5. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly.

6. Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let it cool slightly before serving.

For a tropical twist, you can add a handful of shredded coconut to the pineapple layer before adding the cake mix. If you have chocolate lovers in the family, try using a chocolate cake mix instead of yellow for a different flavor profile. For those who enjoy a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the cake mix before drizzling the butter. If you have picky eaters, you can also try adding a layer of sliced bananas or maraschino cherries for added sweetness and color.
