Dump Cake

 An old Girl Scout favorite.  A delicious dessert bakes up that’s somewhere between a cobber and a fruit crisp.   Don’t limit yourself – cherry pie filling and chocolate cake, pumpkin pie filling, pineapple and spice cake, etc. There is one recipe from a winery that includes 1/4 c Late Harvest Suvignon Blanc.
 Ingredients:
Cherry-Pineapple Dump Cake
  • (go wild! add pecans and chocolate chips)

Peach Dump Cake:

  • 3 cans (15.25oz each) Sliced Peaches in Heavy Syrup (or pears,or apricots, or apples, etc)
  • 1 box. yellow cake mix (or chocolate, or white, or spice or etc.)
  • 1 ½ c butter, melted (Please don’t use margarine!)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°
  2. Dump the cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. (for the peach – dump the peaches – duh)
  3. Stir together.
  4. Sprinkle the cake mix over the top of the fruit.
  5. Drizzle butter evenly over the surface of the cake mix.  (or you can just slice and distribute it )
  6. Bake until the tops are brown and bubbly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Serve with whipped cream.
 Serves:  12
