Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen pineapple and cranberries. Fresh fruits will give your cake the best flavor, but frozen fruits will also work well. If using frozen fruits, thaw them before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • Don't overcook the cake. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overcooking will make the cake dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool slightly before serving. This will help the cake to hold its shape when you cut it.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of sour cream. These toppings will add extra flavor and richness to the cake.

This slow cooker pineapple cranberry dump cake is an easy and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients and can be prepared in just a few minutes.
