Fruity dump cake made in the slow cooker that is reminiscent of ambrosia!

There’s not too many people who don’t enjoy ambrosia–and a dessert so easy, it practically makes itself!

My store had cake mixes on sale buy-one-get-one and instead of the usual yellow cake I buy for many purposes, I decided to pick up two pineapple ones.

Easy dessert

I love the flavor of pineapple and I didn’t want to make the usual upside-down cake with it.

Had a couple of cans of tropical fruit salad in the cupboard–I love that with some cream–and of course I always have canned pineapple on hand. I also had some maraschino cherries in the fridge from another project. And oh yeah, there’s always coconut here because that’s another passion of mine.

Simple Ingredients

So I did the usual dump cake thing in my crockpot, and voila! A wonderful dessert.

This is best served up warm. It’s fine cold, but the taste was definitely better warm!!

Heavenly salad or dessert.  Easy to make classic.  Perfect for summer.

I have always loved ambrosia…although we never called it that!
My mother never made this, but my friend’s mom did.  I know most associate this salad with the winter holidays, but my friend’s family used to serve this at barbeques and picnics.
As I said, we never called it “ambrosia,” we called it “Romney Salad.”  Why you ask? Well, my friend’s dad was from Romney, WV and this was an old Smith family favorite.  This was always served  with a Sunday dinner or at any special occasion. My friend’s dad taught her mom how to make it and it became a “special” way up in New York too.
My friend said she liked it so much as a little girl because on each trip to West Virginia, it was always made.  Ambrosia is a hard word off the tongue for a young child so she just took to calling it “Romney Salad,” which was also picked up by her immediate family.
I cannot completely duplicate the Romney Salad…I know something was added to the sour cream, but some family recipes do die out and unfortunately, my friend never got the recipe from her mom or dad. Her dad is passed for many years, her mom is still alive but sadly is suffering from Alzheimer’s.
I did the best I could here and my version of Romney Salad, although not the genuine, authentic Romney WV variety, is still pretty darned good.
