DUMP-IT CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Dump-It Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's an upgraded version of the classic dump-it cake, which is typically made with canned pie filling, a box of cake mix, and melted butter. The fruit filling bubbles at the bottom of the pan while the melted butter mixes with the dry ingredients on top to create a fluffy cake-like layer. This cake is made from scratch, but is still as easy as dumping in all of the ingredients in layers and baking to perfection.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cake Mix: Select a cake mix that complements the fruit you're using. For example, chocolate cake mix pairs well with berries, while vanilla cake mix goes well with tropical fruits.
  • Use Fresh or Frozen Fruit: Fresh fruit is ideal for dump cakes, but frozen fruit can also be used. If using frozen fruit, thaw it slightly before adding it to the cake mix.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake. Simply stir the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Use a 9x13 Inch Baking Dish: A 9x13 inch baking dish is the standard size for dump cakes. If you use a smaller or larger dish, the baking time may need to be adjusted.
  • Bake the Cake until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: The baking time for dump cakes can vary depending on the type of fruit used and the oven temperature. Generally, dump cakes take about 45 minutes to bake.

Conclusion:

Dump cakes are an easy and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and other gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious dump cake that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
