I freeze pound cake. See no reason why you can't.

I love dump cake!

I get where KSWL is coming from (at least I think so). I'm not big on cake mixes either. A good made-from-scratch cake is hard to beat. But there are "dump cake" (I hate that name) type cakes that are not made from mixes. Kind of like an Apple Betty or a fruit crisp. I've made one that is quite good - no cake mix, you make the topping from scratch. Oats are a good addition - as are pecans (as someone mentioned above). Fresh fruit is also used - not canned pie filling. So much better and by using your own recipe instead of a cake mix and canned pie filling, you can control the fat and sugar content (at least somewhat). tina

Kaye, I was too lazy to re type so I copy and pasted from the other post! lol when I make my dump cakes I leave out the butter. Use a cake mix that has NO PUDDING in the mix. Duncan Hines is what I use. I've never made it with peaches, but I make it all the time with pineapple OR mixed fruit. I find that it always works out best by Mix the can of fruit into the cake mix. Pour in to a 9X13 pan and bake ... what ever the box says.. I bake 325 for about an hour. I would think that the smaller the peach bits, the better it would mixl up. I add a can of pineapple to the mix or a can of mixed fruit. I've tried low sugar cherry pie, but it works best when you mix the cake mix with a white soda, pour 3/4 of that into the cake pan, spoon the cherry pie mix over the top and then spoon the remaining cake mix over that and bake. You could use apple pie filling too... with spice cake, or cinnamon cake Pour some of the Costco 3 berry mix into a 9 X 13 cake pan. Add a 12 oz can of white pop to cake mix, stir and then pour over top of berries. Bake for an hour or so and makes a great cobbler >> . . . . I bet you could put the peaches on the bottom, then add clear soda to cake mix... (fresca works well) stir and pour over peaches, cook for about an hour or a little less. that sounds good!

I tried it recently and it was way too sweet for us too (light syrup) so experimented with a half recipe in deep pie dish with 1 can of peaches and corn muffin mix. I also left off the butter. Butter does make it much better but doesn't look so good on me. Anyway we liked it better than the yellow cake mix.

Well, I tried the peach cobbler recipe but used a pint of blueberries. I boiled up a syrup of 1 and 1/2 cups water and 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar. This nmade a little over 2 cups of syrup and I used just 2 cups but I think it could have taken it all. I used canola oil rather than the margarine or butter. Put the raw blueberries in the bottom of the pan and the cooled syrup on top and finished the rest acording to the peach recipe. Even though I thought I didn't like blueberries, it is delicious. It passed my sons likes too and I had asked him to be critical It is a keeper, in our opinion. The blueberries were on special and so was the cake mix so the cost was very low, if it hadn't turned out. Well worth the experimenting in our opinion.

My favorite cake! I bet you can freeze it. Before serving you'd need to warm it up in the oven to get the crispness back to the topping.

My only complaint about dump cake is after 24 hours the top gets soggy.

This summer I started using Blueberry pie filling for the first time, and it got rave reviews. Now I'm craving some!

Oh, my idea of dump cake must be different from what ya'll are talking about.

I make a chocolate sour cream dump cake that's a cake baked in a bundt pan.

I live within a couple of miles of a dump ...

... pardon me, "landfill" ...

... but haven't found any "cakes" there.

Truth be told - I haven't gone looking for one/any, either.

Several years ago some U.S. folks, Michiganders, and citizens of Detroit and area, were making negative noises about the city of Toronto's 140 or so garbage trucks hauling their waste over the border to be parked near Detroit.

A garbage site near me had been licensed for 9 million tons ... and succeeded in obtaining an increase to 17 million tons ...

... and I said, "Oh! Oh! I know what's coming next!!"!

And ...

... sure enough ...

... the city of Toronto bought it ...

... for $220 million!

ole joyful

P.S. How do I make a "dump cake" ... and what goes into one?

I make it with cherry pie filling,crushed pineapple,walnuts or pecans, sprinkle dry cake mix on top of that and drizzle with butter and bake. Top with whipped cream

PS Not sure I'd freeze it. But if it's leftover it would be a toss up as to garbage or freezer I'd definitely try it cause there is nothing to lose.

Glenda, I'm going to have to fix your's. Does icing go on top?

Here's our local recipe.

Dump Cake.

In 9 x 13 cake pan, layer in order:

1 can (I use 2) pie filling. Cherry, Apple & Blueberry are the best.

1 med. can crushed pineapple. I drain some of the juice.

Dump 1 dry yellow cake mix on top.

Slice 2 sticks butter and lay over cake mix.

Bake for 1hr 20min. at 325. Take out of oven & sprinkle chopped nuts and coconut on top. Bake additional 10 min. until the nuts and coconut are browned.

The nuts and coconut are optional, so if you don't use those, keep baking the cake that same extra 10 minutes.

we love mine...

Mix 1 can of pineapple in juice with
1 box of yellow cake mix with OUT pudding in mix.

pour in 9 by 13 pan. Mine takes about an hour at 325 degrees.

)))))))))))))))))))))

Or pour a bunch of the frozen 3 berry mix from Costco in bottom of 13 by 9 cake pan.

Mix white soda, regular or diet with one box of yellow or white box cake with OUT pudding in mix. Pour over the frozen berries and cook about an hour or sometimes more if you use a LOT of berries, at 325 degrees.

No added sugars or fats. Really fast and easy

Thanks, ladies - they sound delicious!

Doubt whether any will go to waste!

Waist?

(If one puts fresh stuff in ... does one get canned?)

I used to make it in married/camping days.

I have found the one that I like best and always get asked about is the spiced apple

Just make your regular dump cake but u use a can of spiced apple pie filling along with the can of crushed pineapple, sprinkle in a little cinnamon and nutmeg, dump the cake mix on top, no mixing, then sprinkle on top of that some brown sugar, the pats of butter and a little cinnamon.,

It comes out almost like a crumble topping apple pie or cobbler.
It is awesome.

My favorite uses a Butter Pecan cake mix , Betty Crocker I believe and a can of peaches. the rest is the same ..tastes like peach cobbler .

Of course, straight from the oven with a scoop of ice cream is preferred.

Wacky Cake
Use an UNGREASED 9"x13"x2" pan
Into it sift the following mixture ( dump everything in the sifter )
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
Then add
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup salad oil
1 cup water

Stir this mixture around in the pan until there are no lumps.
then bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350 oven.

We used to make these on card playing evenings back in the 50Ã¯Â¿Â½s and 60Ã¯Â¿Â½s before anyone worried about using too much oil etc
