Ingredients

• 15.25 oz Yellow cake mix
• 15 oz Canned fruit cocktail (with juice)
• 20 oz Canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 3 cups Dried fruit mix (e.g., raisins, chopped candied cherries, or chopped dates)
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Pour the canned fruit cocktail (with juice) and crushed pineapple (with juice) evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Sprinkle the dried fruit mix evenly over the canned fruits, followed by the chopped nuts.

Step 4

Open the yellow cake mix and evenly sprinkle the dry mix over the fruit and nuts to form a layer. Do not stir.

Step 5

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and brown sugar evenly over the cake mix layer for added flavor.

Step 6

Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the dry mix as possible.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 8

Remove the dump cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
