After hearing so much about dump cake I decided to make my
own rendition. I knew the recipe
contained 3 items – cake mix, fruit and diet soda. While shopping I picked up a bag of frozen
berries and a box of cake mix because a fruity cake sounded delicious. Upon getting home and assembling the cake, I
found the single bag of frozen berries were not enough but thankfully I had ¾’s
of another bag of frozen fruit in the freezer so I added that into the tray.
The cake turned out to be quite delicious. Actually, I wouldn’t quite call it a cake
because it was more of a berry cobbler. The topping was a cake consistency, but the
bottom was wet like cobbler is. I do
want to point out that this can sit for roughly 2 days but on the third day the
top portion of the cake will become wet and gooey because the berries
eventually get the better of it. Because
of that I’d suggest having this when you’re having people over who can enjoy
it.
I used an assortment of berries on this particular “trial
run” but I do want to make this with frozen peaches for a summer BBQ. I think that’d be ultimately fantastic!

Bake in the oven.
Cooking times will vary, but I cooked mine for 35 minutes, took the cake
out of the oven, spritzed the top with spray butter and put back into the oven
for another 5 minutes.
The cake was yummy, especially with some fat free cool
whip. If serving at a BBQ, this would be
fabulous with some ice cream over a warm piece of dump cake. Yum! Talk about a
guilt free dessert!
