Notes

  • Baking Tip: Ensure that you cover all of the cake mix with butter. Otherwise, when you are done, you will only have an uncooked dry cake mix instead of a baked cobbler.

  • Pan Size: A 9x13 inch baking dish is ideal. If you use a smaller pan, the cake might be thicker and take longer to bake through.

  • Ripe Cherries: For an extra cherry punch, consider using a can of pie filling with whole or large chopped cherries. You can even try draining some syrup if you prefer a less sweet cake. Leftovers: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Warm them up slightly before serving.

  • Testing for Doneness: Since dump cakes don't have a traditional cake batter, judging doneness can be tricky. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not batter. The edges should also be bubbly.
