Recipe Notes
Tip for Instant Pot Pineapple Dump Cake Recipes! Buy two boxes of cake mix so you can make two batches with each can of cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple you have. You'll only need a half can of each for one dump cake! ---->Bake them both at the same time with this Stackable Stainless Steel Steamer Insert Pans with Sling!
Slow Cooker
Although Instant Pots will cook your dump cake a lot faster, you can cook the recipe in a slow cooker. You will need to adjust the times, but the steps are the same on how to prepare the recipe.
