A dump cake makes you drool and drown into the reservoir of the delectable and soft munch. However, you may think that the name ‘dump cake’ does not suggest any ingredient that screams appetizing nor does it have a name that evokes interest. The name might just suggest how disloyal it is to serving your taste buds, by being subjected to the dumps! Well, to your sheer surprise and to my subservient relief, I have the opportunity to explain that the cake is contrary to what its name suggests. It is indeed a cake that your tongue generously testifies to.

What is a Dump Cake 

Names are supposed to be a bit mysterious and deceptive, if not then what is the fun in experiencing something exciting! This dessert to everyone’s surprise is coveted to be a real relish, with it being the easiest cake that one may concoct. This delectable delight can be made by anyone. From kids beginning to learn the art of cake baking to a new bride trying to impress her mother in-law with her cake making prowess; the elementary dump cake recipes serve one and all.

A dump cake is a successful concoction of fruits preferably canned, with a layer of cake mix accompanied with toppings to add that extra smack. Cherries and pineapples are amongst the preferred and the most demanded by ‘platter holders’. Nevertheless, you could also enjoy making and eating a dump cake that has other fruits as its base. Apples, pumpkin, peach are also among the top runners to make the cake all the more savory and mouth-watering.

Canned fruits are predominantly used in preparing cakes, however, you are free to experiment with fruits that you prefer. You could also resort to using fresh fruits as your base in the baking bowl. There are modifications in the recipe of this cake, that can make it all the more tempting and special. Strawberry gelatin is a popular choice with all those who don’t wish to conform to the ordinary and the mundane.

If you have a sweet tooth demanding a lot more ‘sweet nothings’ from you, all you could do is coat the fruits in sugar or dip them in sugar-water, allowing them to macerate in their own juice. In case you have to rush for an important meeting but have promised to keep a delicious dump cake ready for your son when he gets back from school, all you need to do is use a canned pie filling or any variety of fruit pie and serve your son with a sweet platter.
