Blue Ribbon Recipe

Make this cherry dump cake for your family, and you won't have leftovers. It reminds us of a cobbler. Crushed pineapple and cherries really shine in this easy dessert. We liked the crunch of chopped pecans scattered on top. Once baked, it's buttery, crunchy, soft, gooey, tart, and sweet. This serves a nice group size, and you'll find yourself making it when you're asked to bring a dessert.
