Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Put the berries in the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute the cake mix over the berries. Sprinkle with the walnuts and oats. Evenly drizzle the butter over the entire dish.
- Bake until firm and golden brown, about 55 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor. If using canned fruit, drain it well and rinse it before using.
- Use a 9x13 inch baking dish: This is the standard size for dump cakes, and it will give you a nice, thick cake.
- Don't overmix the batter: Just mix until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: If the cake is still too wet after 60 minutes, bake it for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Let the cake cool for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will give the cake time to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
Dump cakes are a delicious and easy dessert that can be made with just a few ingredients. They're perfect for potlucks, picnics, and bake sales. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a dump cake recipe that everyone will love.
