    What exactly is a Dump Cake?

    The name cake is a little bit deceptive and some people prefer to call a dump cake instead of a cobbler. Either one is correct though, but I prefer to call it a dump cake as it is just putting all the ingredients in a 9x13 baking dish and baking. No stirring even.

    When people are not praising its delicious taste, they’re often celebrating how quick and easy this dessert is to make.

    A dump cake is usually a combination of canned fruit, with pie filling and pineapples being some of the most preferred. The fruit is usually not drained and combined on the bottom of a baking dish. Next, people add yellow,  white, or chocolate cake mix, simply pouring the mix right over the fruit.

    Recipes vary but most then direct people to add slices of butter on top of the cake mix. When the cake is baked it has a lovely top crust that is buttery over a layer of sweet fruit.

    How long does dump cake stay fresh? Does it need to be refrigerated?

    If you leave it on the counter it will only stay fresh for two days max. If you refrigerate then it will stay fresh up to a week. Be sure not to place next to onions or garlic as it will affect the flavors.

    Some Feedback Statements:

    It is often so good that it evaporates very quickly, and people request it for cookouts all the time!

    It's so good that it can satisfy chocolate, sweet, or even a cake craving.

    It’s difficult to find dessert recipes that are easier to make than the dump cake. It’s a great recipe for beginning cooks, especially young ones. Even little kids can make these because they don’t have to measure ingredients.

    Please let me know which ones you try or some new concoctions! There seem to be so many YUMMY ones!
