    Recipe FAQ's

    What is Dump Cake?

    It is a delicious baked fruit dessert made from 3 ingredients: Sliced canned fruit, cake mix, and topped with butter. It is similar to a cobbler, except that it uses cake mix instead of a biscuit or pastry topping that a cobbler uses.

    Do you Stir Dump Cake?

    You DO NOT STIR a dump cake. First layer is the fruit. Second layer is the cake mix. Third layer is butter on top. A lot of butter. The butter will soak into the cake mix layer underneath it and create a delicious, browned crust on top of the fruit when baked.

    How do you know when Dump Cake is done?

    Dump cake is done when the fruit is bubbly on the edges and the cake is baked through.

    Variations

    Variation: - Try swapping out the Sliced Peaches for a can of Cherries and a can of Crushed Pineapple.  Twice the fruit and oh so delicious!

      This is so easy to make & it tastes fantastic! I made it using the peaches the first time & since then I have also made it using 2 cans of Blueberry Pie Filling with a white cake mix. This also tasted spectacular & our dinner guest just raved about it. No one will ever guess just how easy it is to make because it actually tastes as though you were in the kitchen cooking for hours! Never again will I have to panic whenever unexpected guests show up on our doorstep!

      It sounds delicious. I was wondering if frozen fruits could be used instead of canned. I don't have canned fruits but I do have frozen, of course.

        Hi Yvonne,
        Thank you! Sure, though I haven't tested this recipe with frozen fruit. You'd need to sweeten up the frozen fruit first. Try adding 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to the frozen fruit and heat it up in a pan on the stovetop until its bubbly, syrupy, and sweet like canned fruit. If it's not sweet enough, add more sugar. Then follow the recipe steps to complete the Dump Cake. Let me know how it turns out!
