More About Pineapple Upside-Down Dump Cake

Cook, covered, on high 2 hours, or until fruit mixture is bubbly. (To avoid scorching, rotate slow-cooker insert a half turn midway through cooking, lifting carefully with oven mitts.)
Turn off slow cooker; let stand, uncovered, 30 minutes before serving. If desired, serve with ice cream.
Test Kitchen tips
Let the cake stand, uncovered, after cooking to allow the steam to escape. As it cools, the cake and the saucy pineapple mixture set up a bit.
Sprinkle the cake mix in an even layer over the pineapple. If it’s piled high in the center, the middle of the cake may be undercooked.
A large slow cooker is used to keep the ingredient layers thin and promote even cooking.
