Electric Griddle Pineapple Dump Cake
Well, darling, let me tell you—my oven and I have a bit of a love-hate relationship. Mostly hate, if I’m being honest.
So when I found out that I could make a Pineapple Dump Cake on my trusty electric griddle, I practically danced around the kitchen in my fluffiest slippers.
I mean, who knew the same griddle I use for my Sunday pancakes could also serve up a slice of tropical heaven?
This recipe is my new go-to when the oven’s being stubborn, or when I’m just too impatient to wait for a cake to bake.
It’s like making pancakes, but with way more sugar and way fewer judgmental looks when you eat it straight off the griddle. Plus, flipping cake on a griddle? It’s the kind of chaos I thrive on.
So grab your griddle, your pineapple, and let’s get to flipping our way to dessert bliss.
Just don’t be surprised if you never go back to the oven again—I’m not sure I will!
Electric Griddle Pineapple Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 electric griddle
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple undrained
- 1/2 box yellow cake mix yes, just half—save the rest for later cake emergencies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted (aka liquid gold)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut for that tropical vibe
Instructions
- Preheat your electric griddle to medium heat. Yes, the same one you use for pancakes—this is about to get interesting.
- In a large bowl, mix the crushed pineapple, cake mix, melted butter, and shredded coconut. It’s a dump cake, after all—just dump and stir.
- Spread a portion of the mixture onto the preheated griddle. You’re basically making cake pancakes here, so channel your inner breakfast chef. *
- Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the cake is golden brown and cooked through. Flip it like a pro—no pressure!
- Carefully remove the cake and let it cool slightly before serving. Or, you know, dive in immediately because who has the patience to wait?

Adjust your cook time accordingly, darlings!
Tropical flavor:
Add 1 tsp of rum extract to the pineapple mixture for a tropical twist. It’s like a piña colada met a cake and had a beautiful baby.
Cherry addition:
Mix 1/2 cup halved maraschino cherries into the batter. Because what’s a pineapple party without some cherries crashing it?
Nutty topping:
Mix 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts into the batter. A little crunch never hurt anyone—unless you’re allergic, then maybe skip this one.
Presentation Suggestions:
Serve this golden beauty on a platter lined with banana leaves for a tropical vibe (or just some bright napkins, if you don’t have a rainforest nearby).
Sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top, and add a few maraschino cherries for that “I totally planned this” look—your guests will never know you griddled it.
