This ridiculously simple dessert earns its name: you literally dump ingredients into a pan and let the oven do the work.

Fruit (canned, fresh, whatever you have) goes in first, dry cake mix sprinkles over top, then butter dots across everything before it all bakes into something that tastes way more complicated than three ingredients have any right to be.

The cake mix transforms into a crispy, crumbly topping with soft cake underneath while the fruit bubbles up around the edges.

Serve warm with ice cream and accept the compliments you barely earned.

Kitchen Tips

  • Leave some juice: A bit of liquid from canned fruit helps the bottom stay moist and bubbly
  • Don’t stir: Seriously, just dump and go; mixing ruins the magic layering effect
  • Cover corners well: Use a spoon to get dry mix into edges so you don’t have bare spots
  • Any fruit works: Cherry pie filling, canned peaches, fresh berries, apple slices, literally anything

Variations

  • Use chocolate cake mix with cherry pie filling for Black Forest dump cake
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts between the fruit and cake mix for crunch
  • Try lemon cake mix with blueberries for bright, tangy summer vibes

For a 13 x 9 pan I just double the recipe.

Notes: I have fou nd if you leave a small amount of juice from the canned fruit in the pan, it he lps make a nicer crust and juicer fil ling.
