Easy Strawberry Dump Cake Recipe FAQs
The biggest mistake to avoid when making a dump cake is not properly distributing the cake mix and butter. It’s important to ensure that the cake mix is evenly sprinkled over the fruit filling, and the melted butter is drizzled evenly across the top. This helps create a balanced and delicious texture throughout the cake.
A dump cake gets its name from the method of “dumping” the ingredients into the baking dish. In an easy dump cake recipe, simple ingredients are layered in the baking dish without any mixing bowl or prep time. A box of cake mix and a fruit filling are “dumped” into the dish, and then melted butter is poured on top. As it bakes, the ingredients meld together to create a delicious cake with a gooey, fruity filling.
Since dump cakes are often made with canned fruit pie fillings or other non-perishable ingredients, leftover dump cake be stored at room temperature for 3-4 days.
While the classic version of a strawberry dump cake uses strawberry cake mix, you can experiment with different cake mixes. For example, both vanilla cake mix or a box of white cake mix are a great option.
