I'm Making a Dump Cake, for the First Time

I've heard of DUMPING syndrome which Gastric Bypass patients get.

Gross.

I haven't had dump cake since I retired 4 years ago from the office of fraus

Need any help OP, I just ate a bowl of chili and downed it with a double scoop of Metamucil.

OP is to lazy to make a real cake but still wants the excess calories.

And there's something wrong with that r5?

What is it?

Not only that, but I'm using a recipe from the Queen of the Fraus, Ree Drummond!

Dump Cakes are just cobblers!

My grandma made dump cakes in the 1960s. What did they call them then? An 8 x 8 pan, a can of pie filling, a box of Jiffy white or yellow cake mix, a half stick of melted margarine.

The true Queen of (Dump Cake) Fraus is Kathy Mitchell.

So they’re huge pies for lazy people?

Have you considered a dump pie?

R11- They are NOT pies. They are CAKES.

They're easy and quit good.

Pour a large can crushed pineapple in a lightly greased 9X13 pan. Pour a large can cherry pie filling on top & gently mix.

Spoon uncooked yellow cake mix over the fruit mixture. Shake to cover.

Dot with sliced slivers of 1 stick of butter. Bake at 350.

Quite not quit.

R11 has a point. When living in France, I discovered that the cake / pie / pudding taxonomy was subject to debate. For instance, the French at a dinner party concluded that banana pudding with nilla wafers is a cake.

But Oreos are biscuits?

A dump cake, really?

Mark it down - today is the day you gave up on life.

What's next, OP-- cradling your mug while watching QVC and the Hallmark Movie Channel?

I just tasted it and it's actually quite good!

[quote]Spoon uncooked yellow cake mix over the fruit mixture. Shake to cover.

R14 what does "shake to cover" mean. I'm genuinely asking.

R21 I think they mean to shake the pan back and forth in order for the cake mix to cover the surface. It's easier to just move it around lightly with your hand or a spatula

Thanks, r22

Is this a sniper post by the Brick Shithouse Troll?

[quote]What's next, OP?

Explosive diarrhea!

OP, use diet soda for a low-cal dump cake!

I literally thought this was a parody thread about Donald Trump and when he loses the election.

I tried making one once. One bite and it all went into the garbage.

Wait a minute. Do you sprinkle dry cake mix directly from the box onto the fruit filling, or do you mix the batter then pour it over the filling.

[quote]One bite and it all went into the garbage.

OK. These dump cakes...and I watched both videos, look way too sweet for my taste. I can understand how kids would love that, but no thanks.

No one's going to be asking for a box to take any of this home.

R10 While I admit she's a frau, I adore Cathy Mitchell. I've never purchased any of the products, but her infomercials have helped me fall asleep countless times.

Here's one of my favorites: Microcrisp!

Wanna take a dump?

I made this Ooey-Gooey Butter cake and it was a big hit.

I bet DL Favorite, Simply Sarah, has a ncie recipe for Dump Cake

R29 you sprinkle the dry cake mix on top of the fruit concoction on the bottom. No mixing. The copious pats of butter that goes on top of the dry cake mix give it moisture, I guess.

Look, I was as skeptical as any of you bitches, but I was cleaning out my pantry and had all of the ingredients needed. I was pleasantly surprised that it tasted pretty good, very similar to a southern fruit cobbler my momma used to make.

OP, how'd your dump come out? Share!

[quote] Jealous?

OP, no one will ever be jealous of you. Ever. The only person who could have possibly been jealous of you is John List. It's rumored that he was making a Dump Cake shortly before his arrest.

Cobbler topping is so easy to make, and doesn't require a full stick of butter. Cake mix tastes of shortening and artificial flavoring. No thanks.

If you're using canned pie filling it's important to select a high quality brand if you don't like "White Trash" food.

[quote]OP, use diet soda for a low-cal dump cake!

I remember this from Cathy Mitchell's dump cake infomercial, and what she actually said was, "Use diet soda for a guilt-free dessert!" Guilt free, if you discount all the sugar in the canned cherry pie filling and the yellow cake mix!

[quote]R21 what does "shake to cover" mean? I'm genuinely asking.

They meant “shake the cover” (of the pan.) It’s a traditional part of the process.

The sound waves help tenderize it.

Shaking the pan is so the dry cake mix covers all of the first layer.

That’s disgusting. If you can’t bake at least buy a half decent cake and be a pig with dignity.

is this a mid western thing? Minnesota? I have never heard of such a thing. I don't mean that sarcastically.

The sound you hear is OP's arteries slamming shut.

But besides that, it sounds, and looks, awfiul

I remember going over to see a friend with a new infant when she and her husband hosted a dinner to show off the baby. She confessed she was so exhausted by the baby's feeding schedule that she had made a dump cake in place of her usually very sophisticated desserts. She had made a very large cake and asked if we would like to take the leftovers home to snack on. Guests helped themselves as she cleaned the baby's bottles, unscrewing the nipples to rinse them carefully out.

Yes, she screwed with her nipples as we all took a massive dump.

[quote]is this a mid western thing? Minnesota?

It's a frau thing.

But that's what confused me r49, I have a vagina and have worked with many a confirmed frau- Grade school teachers and Episcopalians even! and I have never heard of it.

Apple crisp with fresh peeled apples isn’t hard to make ..u can even get a boxed mix for topping and u add butter

You need to educate yourself, R49. May I suggest that you order Cathy Mitchell's dump cake cookbook?

^^ Sorry, I meant this for R50. ^^

[quote]Apple crisp with fresh peeled apples isn’t hard to make ..u can even get a boxed mix for topping and u add butter

This is true. There's nothing better than a warm apple crisp with some vanilla ice cream. I made one using a mix for the topping and it was delicious. You just add butter to the mix and sprinkle it over the top of the apples and bake.

pft, if I am eating cans of fruit mixed with weird things I will just have ambrosia r53

None of this sounds sexy at all!

Dump going in is a dump going out.

Dont forget the frosting OP.

Just processed garbage from polluting big corporate agribiz with no nutritional value for fat white trash Americans in fly-over states. Might as well buy a Hostess fruit pie from the corner store -- the cherry and berry ones are my faves (are these even available anymore?). But it's really easy to make a fresh fruit cobbler from scratch! Note: I am smoking a Marlboro menthol and sipping a vodka rocks as I type this. I have 3 large apples in the fruit bowl. Might get stoned and make a small cobbler because the corner store shut down due to the COVIDS. Thanks, OP!

Speaking of Ree Drummond and apples, these Apple Dumplings are really good.

Apples, Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and MOUNTAIN DEW

I hate Ree Drummond. She's a fake whore like Millennia only she married a very wealthy cowboy who was hard up for twat on the range.

For a while there, someone was trolling her with a website call Pie Near Woman. It was hilarious and Ree tried to sue but couldn't prove the site was about her. Sadly, the mystery person got board with Ree and and stopped posting.

[quote]Speaking of Ree Drummond and apples, these Apple Dumplings are really good. Apples, Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and MOUNTAIN DEW.

Use Diet Mountain Dew for a guilt-free dessert!

R50

I was born Episcopalian and have never encountered dump cake before. I don't know why you associate it with us?

What a dump!

(cake)

The ULTIMATE "dump cake".

Remember, the single melted Tootsie Roll wilted over the edge (click the photo to view it) is the most important part!

Honest to god, I thought this had something to do with that Slug in the White House!

Cup cup cup peach cobbler. A cup of milk, sugar and flour with a can of sliced peaches. Mix and bake at 350 until golden brown. I like to cut the sweetness with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Can any dessert recipe be dumped?

Better Than Dump Sex is what I have in mind.

I wonder if this recipe was discovered by some slatternly housewife who screamed, "You want a cake? Here's your goddam cake!"?

Did anyone see how many cups of Xanax Ree's recipe called for?

[quote]R45 If you can’t bake, at least buy a half decent cake and be a pig with dignity.

OMG - for a second I thought you said [italic]half[/italic] a cake ! !

Like, just a half.

It's still coming from a can, toots.

[quote]Cobbler topping is so easy to make, and doesn't require a full stick of butter.

Said no DLer EVER...

Less than ONE full stick of butter?

How dare you, Sir?

How DARE you?

[quote]I wonder if this recipe was discovered by some slatternly housewife who screamed, "You want a cake? Here's your goddam cake!"?

With blousy hair, a ciggy hangin' off her lip...

her hands placed defiantly on her caftan-clad hips

[quote]Less than ONE full stick of butter?

Then...

And then the bad man said...he said...

I’m from CT and have never encountered or tasted a dump cake. I do remember someone bringing a “dump salad” to a birthday party once, and it looked like what we called “ambrosia”.

If you are not accustomed to eating processed foods like Oreos and store-made rotisserie chickens, this kind of thing doesn’t taste good. If you’re used to Doritos and Pizza Hut, it’s heavenly.

OP did you make the peach or cherry/pineapple?

Is there a version with peanut butter?

[quote] OP is to lazy to make a real cake

About as lazy as you for not typing that extra O.

A dump cake? Is that what you kids are calling it now?

In my day we just referred to it as scat.

I need a recipe STAT for dump something that includes: candy corn, butterscotch sauce, marshmallow, pudding mix, cool whip, m&m's, and graham cracker. Thanks dolls!

r63, because the Episcopalians were always ALWAYS bringing baked goods to work :)

Back in my day we just called this cobbler.

r81 I just saw a recipe on TV that used melted candy corn to make faux Butterfingers.

R84 I must have that recipe!

How lazy are folks...just make a cobbler topping...cake mix and butter..gross!

You really should try it before throwing stones r86

r87, you forget this is DL.....we throw stones first (knee jerk reaction), then go back and try/re-read/re-evaluate etc.

I'm from CT, too, R76, and I know damn well you grew up eating Carvel cakes and jello molds, so get off your high horse!
