Cream Cheese King Cake Dump Cake
This Cream Cheese King Cake Dump Cake is the ultimate lazy baker’s ode to Mardi Gras, combining festive flavors with zero fuss. With buttery pecan cake mix, fruity layers, and dollops of cream cheese, it's a party in every bite—beads optional!
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
Ingredients
- 1 box butter pecan cake mix fancy name, easy life!
- 1 21-ounce can cherry pie filling (pre-approved by the lazy chef society)
- 1 21-ounce can pineapple tidbits drained (it’s okay, you don’t need all that juice)
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese softened (aka dreamy dollops of heaven)
- 1/2 cup butter melted (don’t skimp here—be the butter queen you were born to be)
- 1/4 cup colored sugar sprinkles purple, green, and gold—Mardi Gras magic vibes only
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss on some jazz while you’re at it; baking is better with a soundtrack.
- Grab your trusty 9x13-inch baking dish (you know, the one that’s seen some things). Grease it like you mean it.
- Layer in the cherry pie filling and pineapple tidbits. Smooth it out like a diva’s makeup routine.
- Take your softened cream cheese and plop spoonfuls of it over the fruit. Don’t aim for perfection—this is a dump cake, darling.
- Sprinkle that dry butter pecan cake mix evenly on top. Channel your inner fairy godmother while you’re at it.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix like you’re making edible art.
- Top it all off with your festive sprinkles—purple, green, and gold, baby! We’re going full Mardi Gras mode.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until it’s golden, bubbly, and your kitchen smells like a bakery in Bourbon Street. Let it cool slightly before you dive in... or not. I won’t judge.
