Real ingredients are just as easyand so much tastier!
I was first introduced to the concept of a dump cake when I was in high school.
What Is a Dump Cake?
Cindy Rahe
The ingredients were dumped into the panfruit first, then cake mix, followed by the melted butter.
No mixing; just layer and bake.
The whole thing came out of the oven resembling something between a cobbler and streusel.

It’s important to spread the mixture in an even layer, which is what I suggest here.
How To Make a Dump Cake From Scratch
Dump cakes from scratch areso much better!
The real beauty of this recipe?
Cindy Rahe
It resembles the dump cakes of my youth, but tastes so much better.
No more one-note dump cake!
It will keep for several days and takes well to reheating.

It does not make a terrible breakfast, reheated with a scoop of Greek yogurt.
Cakes With Fruit Are Awesome, Right?!
Add up to an extra 1/4 cup sugar, as needed, if using very tart fruits.

(Frozen fruit is fine; it doesn’t not need to be thawed before baking.)
Spread the mixture into an even layer.
Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the fruit.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top.
Serve warm withvanilla ice cream.
Leftover cake can be covered and refrigerated for a few days.
