FAQs

What is the difference between a cobbler and a dump cake?

They taste and look similar. However, a dump cake utilizes a cake mix. Whereas a cobbler uses a flour mixture for the breading.

Does dump cake need to be refrigerated?

Yes, this type of dessert needs to be stored in the fridge. The filling will spoil if not chilled in the refrigerator after baking.

If your pan has a lid, you can use that to ensure freshness. Otherwise, use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to tightly cover the pan.

How long can you keep dump cake?

Stored in the refrigerator, dump cake will last up to 5 days. Although, ours never last that long. We eat it pretty quickly.

Pro Tips

  • Prepare pan. Use cooking spray to thoroughly coat the baking dish. If you are using a slow cooker, we recommend crockpot liners for easy cleanup.
  • Preheat the oven. I know it sounds obvious but it is important that you do not skip this step. The cake will not bake evenly if not properly preheated.
  • Try new variations. The possibilities are endless for dump cakes. Try new ingredients and combinations.
