Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- 2. Place potatoes in a 9x13" dish. Mix the sugar, water, vanilla and 1/2 stick margarine, in a measuring cup. Then pour over the sweet potatoes in baking dish.
- 3. Sprinkle with 1 box dry cake mix, yellow or white. Then drizzle the other stick of margarine over the dry mix and bake for 60 to 75 minutes, until golden brown.
- 4. Serve with ice cream.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your dump cake a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
- Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will make them easier to eat and will help to prevent the cake from becoming too mushy.
- Use fresh sweet potatoes. Canned sweet potatoes can be used in a pinch, but fresh sweet potatoes will give your dump cake a better flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Just stir until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.
