Tips:

  • Choose the right pan: Dump cakes are typically baked in a 9x13 inch pan, but you can also use an 8x8 inch pan or a 10x15 inch pan. If you use a smaller pan, the cake will be thicker, and if you use a larger pan, the cake will be thinner.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a toothpick to check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool before serving: This will allow the cake to set and the flavors to develop. You can serve the cake warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Dump cakes are an easy and delicious dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make a dump cake that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give dump cake a try!
