This sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the South as well, but I'm searching the recesses of my mind as to whether I've tasted this cake before. The name is throwing me a bit. But, the coconut pecan icing seems very familiar. I'm going to have to make this to get confirmation. Yours looks sweet and delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really moist and yummy! And really rich with flavours too! Thanks for sharing!

I made a simular cake only using fruit cocktail. I wasn't crazy about it but maybe the pineapple would change things.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, this is too good looking to be called a dump cake.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Will definitely link up and follow you, too.

Hi Mary, give the pineapple a try. It was so moist, and the icing is just addictive.

This looks ooey, gooey, fantastic!! I've had a dump cake before...but I don't think it was anywhere near as amazing as this one looks and sounds. Want it!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about the icing too and love that you doubled it! How delectable!
ReplyDeleteOMG, my Mom used to make Dump Cake when I was growing up! I had totally forgotten about it. I honestly don't remember if this recipe is similar to hers, but I do remember I used to love it. Now I need to ask my Mom for her Dump Cake recipe. Thanks for the memories Louanne!
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome, Brenda! Enjoy your mom's cake and then post it for all of us cake lovers!
ReplyDeleteIt's my day for a blog hop, I'd love it if you came over and shared one

Pineapple, coconut and pecans are all favourites of mine, and all together in one gooey cake....yum. I think I'll stick with the name "cajun cake" though.
ReplyDeleteLouanne, this is gooey which is something, I can't resist and I have a feeling that most people can't walk away from it. It also looks easy to make which is a bonus. I am so glad you linked this Bake with Bizzy. Each time, I go to my blog, I see all the goodies staring back at me. You have some of the best photos, so you could just lilnk all your baked goods for me to enjoy. OK, I am kidding. I wouldn't mind though. You have a beautiful blog.
