Tropical Banana Pineapple Bliss Dump Cake
Darlings, if sunshine had a flavor, it would taste like this Tropical Banana Pineapple Bliss Dump Cake.
It’s creamy, dreamy, and absolutely bananas—literally.
You get all the easy-breezy glory of a dump cake, with layers of fruity goodness that whisper “take me to the beach” and scream “I only dirty one bowl.”
I first whipped this up on a day when I needed a vacation but all I had was a can of pineapple and a ripe banana giving me side-eye.
A little banana pudding magic, a cloud of whipped topping, and a good dose of shredded coconut later… and voilà! My kitchen turned into a dessert cabana.
Perfect for potlucks, backyard luaus, or just pretending your patio is in Maui, this one’s a crowd-pleaser that tastes like a tropical getaway.
And honey, you deserve one.
