FAQ

Do I need to refrigerate a dump cake?

Do I refrigerate it? 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.

How do you know when a 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.

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.

Is dump cake good the next day?

Yes, you can! And it’s a great way to plan a dessert for a gathering. The baked dump cake will keep for 4-5 days in the refrigerator, well covered in plastic wrap. Simply let it come to room temperature before serving, or slightly warm it in a medium oven and serve it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
