How do you make Dump Cake?

Easy Dump Cake Recipe

Dump cakes are a simple and delicious dessert that requires minimal effort. Here's how to make one:

Ingredients:

* 1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix

* 1 (21 ounce) can pie filling (your choice of flavor, like cherry, peach, or apple)

* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

* 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the pan: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

3. Combine ingredients: In the prepared pan, layer the cake mix, pie filling, butter, and nuts (if using) in that order.

4. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before serving. You can serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Variations:

* Different cake mixes: Use other cake mixes like chocolate, spice, or even pound cake mix.

* Different fillings: Try other fillings like blueberry, blackberry, or even a combination of flavors.

* Toppings: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.

Tips:

* Use room temperature butter for easier melting.

* If the cake starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.

* This cake can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
