Dump Cake Confusion: Is Cake Mix Required?

In summary, a dump cake is a type of dessert where various ingredients are dumped into a baking dish and then baked. It usually consists of a base layer of fruit, followed by cake mix and toppings. While most recipes call for cake mix, it is possible to make a dump cake without it. Different types of fruit can also be used, and the prep and baking time for a dump cake is typically around 10 minutes and 30-45 minutes, respectively. It can also be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

I have a recipe for a dump cake. I'm using Spice and Apple Filling. The recipe says to put 1/2 the cake mix in the DCB. I just want to be sure that "cake MIX" means you are not making the batter as the box says and then putting it in the DCB.

Does anyone know?

Thanks!
Shari
 
Cake mix in every other recipe I've found means just the powder. It would say in the directions "Make according to package directions"... like it does for Rice or other components of a larger recipe. I'm not familiar with this particular recipe, but I would say to an almost absolute certainty that they mean the powder with no additional ingredients (other than the rest of the recipe).
 
That's right, do not mix up the ingredient that the box says--just use the recipe.

Thank you!!
 
And do you need to use the DC for the Dump Cake recipe or can you use other pieces of stoneware?
