Tropical Ambrosia Dump Cake

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!!
