So named because the main ingredients are all just dumped into the baking pan; and the results are extraordinary. This stuff is addictive, drawing 2nd and 3rd servings from those fortunate enough to partake.... You've got to try this!

Step 4: Dump the Crushed Pineapple Into the Pan

Step 5: Mix Together

Step 6: Sprinkle on the Cake Mix

Carefully sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the cherry pineapple mixture in the baking pan. Do NOT mix in.

Gently smooth and level the mix so it is evenly distributed over the surface of the mixture. Made sure the cake mix meets the edge of the pan on all sides.

Step 7: Top With Sliced Butter

Take the 1/4 pound stick of butter out of the refrigerator and use the sharp knife to slice it into thin pads, about 1/16 of an inch thick.

Layer the pads of butter evenly over the entire surface of the cake mix. There will be gaps between the pads.

Step 8: Sprinkle on 1 Cup Chopped Pecans

Take the sharp knife and chop up the pecans into a size to your liking. Sprinkle 1 Cup of chopped Pecans evenly over the 'buttered' surface of the mixture.

Step 9: Bake at 350ÂºF for 45 Minutes to 1 Hour

Place the pan of prepared mixture into the preheated oven and Bake at 350ºF for 45 minutes to one hour until top is golden brown.

Step 10: Cool, Serve and Enjoy!

Use hot pads to remove the pan of Cherry Cobbler from the oven and onto a cooling rack. Cool slightly. Use the Pancake turner to cut out squares and serve warm.

Vanilla ice cream goes very well with this dessert.

Enjoy!
