Tropical Dump Cake
Here is a new version of an old stand-by that is sure to tempt the sweet tooth. Based on the the old 7-Up dump cake, this Dutch oven dessert has been re-designed with a tropical island flair.
Ingredients:
1 18 oz. box, yellow cake mix
1 3.4 oz box, instant banana pudding mix
4 large eggs
1 10 oz can, 7-UP
1 20 oz can, crushed pineapple
1 cup, brown sugar
1 cup, shredded coconut flakes
Directions:
Combine the cake mix and instant pudding mix into a 12" Dutch oven. Beat the eggs and mix them along with the 7-UP into the cake mix until you have a smooth batter. Cover your Dutch oven and bake at 350° for 30 to 45 minutes. Use 25 charcoal briquettes for the outdoor cooking of this recipe with charcoal as your fuel. Place 15 lit briquettes on top and 10 underneath your Dutch oven. Replace your coals about every 30-40 minutes. You may need more coals in windy or cold weather.
Remove the heat from your Dutch oven and set it aside to cool. Drain the liquid from the can of pineapple. Combine the crushed pineapple and brown sugar In a either a 6" Dutch oven or cast iron skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the shredded coconut flakes. Spread the mixture over the cake and allow it to cool before serving.
