Grilled Pineapple Coconut Dump Cake
Who needs a tiki bar when you’ve got this Grilled Pineapple Coconut Dump Cake sizzling on your grill? With caramelized pineapple, buttery cake, and toasted coconut, it’s a backyard vacation in a bite—just add a lawn chair and a piña colada!
Equipment
- 1 cast-iron skillet
Ingredients
- 2 20-ounce cans crushed pineapple undrained (because juice = flavor, and we're not wasting a drop!)
- 1 box yellow cake mix the magic dust that makes this all work
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (because buttery goodness is mandatory)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut for that toasty, crunchy perfection
Instructions
- Fire up that grill to medium heat. This cake is about to get smoky in all the right ways.
- Grease up a grill-safe baking dish or cast-iron skillet with non-stick spray. Nobody likes a cake that won’t come out of the pan.
- Dump the crushed pineapple (juice and all!) right into your dish. It’s a juicy situation, but trust the process.
- Sprinkle that cake mix evenly over the pineapple. No stirring. No mixing. Just let it sit there like the fabulous diva it is.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix like you’re giving it a spa day.
- Top it off with shredded coconut because we’re taking this cake straight to an imaginary tropical beach.
- Pop it on the grill, close the lid, and let the magic happen. In 30-35 minutes, you’ll have a golden, bubbly masterpiece.
- Let it cool slightly before digging in. Or don’t—just be prepared to fan your mouth dramatically if you go in too soon.
