FAQ

How do dump cakes work?

Dump cakes are really best thought of as a cobbler-like dessert rather than a cake. They don’t bake up like a fluffy cake, but the liquid from the butter and pie filling adds enough moisture for the cake mix to take on crisp-y, cobbler-y texture when all is said and done.

How do you know when Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake is done?

As mentioned above, this is not a cake-y cake, so you’ll know when your Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake is done not by inserting a toothpick in the center, but by looking for the pie filling to be bubbling up around the edges.

Do you stir a dump cake?

Heavens no! Stirring is not needed. Just dump the ingredients in. It will work out, I promise.
