How to Make Asian Dump Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In the prepared pan, pour in 2 cups of your favorite fruit salad (I used a mixture of pineapple, papaya, and guava) with 1/2 cup of passion fruit juice and 1 (21 ounce) can of pie filling (cherry, apple, or your choice).
  4. Gently stir to combine the fruits and juices.
  5. Evenly sprinkle 1 box (15.25 ounces) of yellow cake mix over the fruit mixture.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (macadamia or pecans recommended) over the cake mix.
  7. Drizzle 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted unsalted butter over the nuts.
  8. Top with 1/2 cup of sweetened shredded coconut.
  9. Bake, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as is, or for an extra touch of paradise, serve with a scoop of mango sorbet.
