Description

A dump cake might remain powdery due to insufficient liquid or improper layering. It’s a simple dessert that typically requires minimal effort, where ingredients are layered in a pan and baked.


Ingredients

  • Fruit filling (canned or fresh)
  • Cake mix (dry)
  • Butter
  • Optional: nuts, spices, or extracts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven as directed.
  2. Spread the fruit filling at the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the filling.
  4. Slice butter thinly and layer it over the cake mix, ensuring it covers as much area as possible.
  5. Bake until the top is golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake mix is moistened by the butter to avoid powdery spots. Some recipes recommend stirring the cake mix and fruit slightly.
  • Variations may include adding nuts, spices, or using different types of fruit.
