Fruity Pineapple Dump Cake with Condensed Milk

September 26, 2019 By Sharon Garofalow Leave a Comment

Need a fast dessert recipe to make for a crowd? Look no farther than this Pineapple Dump Cake with Condensed Milk.

It’s quick and easy and fruity and wonderful. Dump Cake recipes are the best for lazy bakers like myself. I like to share sweets with my friends and family, but I don’t love being stuck in the kitchen for hours.

Make this Pineapple Dump Cake!

Every dump cake recipe that I make is super simple. And it’s really fun to play around with flavors and ingredients.

These cakes really can’t be screwed up, which I am super grateful for because I don’t consider myself a skilled baker. 

But I do consider myself a dessert eating expert.

The yellow cake mix, crushed pineapple, sweetened condensed milk and coconut play really well together.

It’s a good dessert to make for last-minute get-togethers or for a quick treat for your family.

How to Make Pineapple Dump Cake with Condensed Milk and Coconut

Ingredients

  • 2 20 oz. cans crushed Pineapple
  • 1 15.75 oz. Boxed Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut

The special can opener tool helps a lot. Make sure to make the holes big enough so that it easily comes out. Or just remove the lid entirely and use a spatula to scrape it all out.

I love using canned pineapple in dump cakes because of the amount of juice. Between that sweetened fruit juice and the butter, the cake mix is able to absorb it and end up tasting amazing! 

Why Use Condensed Milk 

Condensed milk is weird. I don’t like the flavor of it straight out of the can, but when you add it to baked goods… crazy delicious.

Condensed milk adds a layer of flavor – kind of nutty, roasted, caramel-y – it is really hard to describe. It also is a great way to add creaminess plus it also adds a low-key sweetness.

While I normally love the cake and butter topping from a regular dump cake recipe, the condensed milk adds a crispiness to the top that you don’t get otherwise.

It’s a little bit of a different texture than normal, but I really like what the finished product tasted like.

Am I going to change all my dump cake recipes to include condensed milk? No. But will I play around with it some more? You betcha.

Instructions:

To a 9 x 13 pan, add both cans of crushed pineapple with the juice.

Even though the flavors of this cake are coconut and pineapple, it doesn’t come off like a pina colada. The flavors are actually pretty subtle.

Canned crushed pineapple is sweet and fruity but doesn’t have an overwhelming pineapple flavor.

Pour the melted butter as evenly as possible across the top.

Sprinkle the coconut on the top. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes until golden brown. 

You may think that you can skip the butter when you are using the condensed milk. But don’t skip it!

The butter and yellow cake is too good together. That is where all the goodness from a dump cake comes from. Otherwise, it’s just fruit.

Have you ever made a dump cake in a crock pot? I made this Crock Pot Apple Cherry Dump Cake recently and it was just as good as in the oven. I’m sure you could make this recipe in the crock pot too.

The only difference would be that the crust wouldn’t be quite so crispy in the crock pot version.

The coconut makes the crust a little bit chewy without giving it a super strong coconut flavor.

The condensed milk creates more of a crust on the top than a traditional dump cake recipe. The flavor doesn’t change too much because of it.

I wouldn’t say I’m a pineapple fan. But this Pineapple Dump Cake is scrumptious! I love that you can keep all of these items in your pantry and throw this dessert idea together whenever you need to. 

Dessert emergencies are few and far between, but I think it’s always good to be prepared.
