We know what you're thinking, but we promise it tastes way better than it sounds! If you haven't heard of dump cakes before, they're a great way to get your sweet fix without any hassle. Plus, you really can't go wrong with a mixture of fruit and buttery cake crumbs! Best of all? You most likely have all of the necessary ingredients in your pantry right now.
Here are the ingredients you need!
For the filling:
1. 36 kilograms of fresh or frozen fruit (like berries, sliced peaches, sliced apples, sliced plums, etc.)
2. 1/2 cup of sugar
3. 2 and 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
4. 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Ingredients for the cake:
1. 175g all-purpose flour
2. 1 cup sugar
3. 1 teaspoon baking powder
4. 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
5. 170g melted unsalted butter
6. Vanilla ice cream, to serve
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Combine the fruit, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a 9x13 baking dish and stir until everything is evenly mixed. If necessary, add up to 1/4 of a cup of extra sugar to sweeten tart fruits.
Next, spread the mixture into an even layer and prepare your cake mixture. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until everything is fully combined. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the fruit and pour the melted butter over the top.
Bake the dump cake for 35-45 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the top is golden. Push any dry pockets of flour down with a spoon if you notice them towards the end of cooking. When it's finished, serve warm with a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate sweet treat.
Go ahead and give this dump cake recipe a try! Keep any leftovers in the fridge and warm it up the next day for a sweet snack.
