What Exactly is a Dump Cake?
- A dump cake or a crunch cake is very similar to a fruit cobbler.
- As a result, the cake mix gives you the crunch buttery topping.
- You basically do just like the title says and you dump the ingredients into a baking dish and then top it off with the cake mix.
- For the most part, you can use any canned fruit you like. You could also use fresh fruit! Try my Berry Dump Cake that's made with fresh blueberries and raspberries.

It looks yummy! Could I substitute something else for the pineapple? I love blueberry but not a big fan of pineapple.

You could leave the pineapple out completely. Thank you for visiting.
