Coconut Cherry Dump Cake

Submitted by averybird

"This recipe is more like a cobbler than a cake, and so easy to prepare! Just dump the ingredients into the pan one by one and bake. Would be great for a baby or bridal shower or another celebration. Enjoy!"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 7

2. Spoon the pineapple evenly over the bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9" pan.
3. Add the layer of cherry filling over the pineapple.

6. Sprinkle the coconut and pecans evenly over the top of the cake.
7. Bake 55 to 60 minutes, until the cake is a deep brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
9. Serve with vanilla ice cream on top!

Well apparently my previous review didn't 'take', so here I am again! Pretty much followed your recipe on down & really loved the coconut, but then I'm also a big fan of cherries, so that was a nice plus, too! Another time I might add a can of sweet cherries, but we were very happy with the cake as made! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed just for the halibut!]

Delicious and so easy. I skipped the coconut as I didn't have any. The rest I followed the recipe. Keeper recipe.
