A dump cake asks almost nothing of you. Fruit in the pan, dry cake mix over the top, butter on that, and the oven does the rest while dinner is still on the table.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when company is coming and there's no time to bake, or when the kids want something warm on a Tuesday and there's a cake mix in the cabinet.
Every recipe here starts with pantry cans and a box mix: Peach Dump Cake with canned peaches in heavy syrup, Wild Berry Dump Cake built on cherry and blueberry pie filling, Pumpkin Dump Cake with evaporated milk, Gooey Amish Cherry Pineapple, Salted Caramel Pretzel, and Pecan Pie Dump Cake.
Quick Tips
- 1
Leave the fruit juice in
Don't drain the peaches or crushed pineapple unless the recipe says to — that syrup is what moistens the dry cake mix underneath.
- 2
Slice the butter thin
Cut one cold stick into about 16 thin pats and cover the whole surface so you don't end up with dry powdery spots.
- 3
Spread, don't stir
Scatter the dry mix evenly over the fruit and leave it alone. Stirring turns the topping gummy instead of crisp.
- 4
Let it rest 20 minutes
Pull it out when the top is golden and bubbling at the edges, then cool 20 minutes so the filling sets up enough to scoop.
