Notes

  • Store leftover pineapple dump cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a warm, gooey treat, reheat individual slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
  • Serve warm pineapple dump cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • For a richer flavor, lightly toast the coconut and nuts before adding them to the cake.
