Dump cake

 I wish there was a better name for this dessert but how it reads is really how it is. :) This American hack enables you to have a dessert to feed a crowd in next to no time. Plus it only requires some pantry staples. I have made a version without the cake mix but it is much easier just to use a packet of plain butter cake mix.  You can get all creative with the tin fruit you use, I even added a few fresh blueberries to this one.

Ingredients

1 large can or 2 x 410g can of fruit (I used apricots and cut them in half) including juice

(You can use pie filling also)

1 handful of fresh blueberries (optional)

1 packet cake mix

125g butter

Method

It is ridiculously easier

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius

Tip tinned fruit into the base of an oven dish. add fresh fruit if using. Pour half the tin juice over the to.

Sprinkle cake mix evenly over the fruit

Melt 1/3 of the butter approx.

Cut remaining butter into pieces and lay on top of the cake mix, then pour the melted butter in between to cover entire cake mix with butter

Pour on the remaining juice.

Bake in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until cake mix is cooked and top is golden and bubbly.

Tasty and easy
