FAQ

What is dump cake made of?

A dump cake is an American dessert similar to a cobbler but with a cake-like topping. It is so named because it is prepared by “dumping” ingredients (typically canned fruit or pie filling, followed by a boxed cake mix) into a cake pan without mixing.

How do you know when dump cake is done?

For the peach dump cake: Dump the peaches into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the cake mix over the top of the fruit. Slice the butter into tablespoons and distribute evenly over the surface of the cake mix. Bake until the tops are brown and bubbly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Do you need to refrigerate dump cake?

The dump cake needs to be refrigerated once it has been baked and cooled. The fruit in the cake will spoil fast if left on the counter. You can refrigerate the cherry cake in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Is dump cake supposed to be gooey?

Is dump cake supposed to be gooey? Once set, the fruit filling should be gooey and thick but definitely not runny. If you love an apple cobbler or peach cobbler, this dump cake recipe will have a similar consistency but with a fluffy cake topping.
