The Mixes
Most dump cakes start with some kind of cake mix, whether it’s tore bought or created from scratch. Here, you’ll find options for both. Keep a box of your favorite mix on hand so it’s ready whenever you start craving a sweet treat.
Prepared Mixes
Most recipes in this book use boxed cake mixes to prepare the dump cake:
For a 9” x 13” (23 x 33cm) or 2-layer cake: Use a 15.25 oz. to 18.25 oz. (432 to 517g) pkg. (3⅓ to 4 cups dry cake mix).
For an 8” or 9” (20 or 23cm) square cake: Use a 9 oz. (255g) pkg. or half of a 9” x 13” (23 x 33cm) pkg. (scant 2 cups dry cake mix).
2-in-1 Cake Mix
Makes enough for 2 cakes. For a slightly different taste and texture, try this easy prep-ahead recipe. Simply use a portion of it in place of the regular cake mix listed in your recipe. Then store the remaining mixture in an airtight container for another cake.
In a large bowl, stir together 1 (16 oz. [453g]) pkg. angel food cake mix and 1 (15.25 oz. [432g]) pkg. golden vanilla cake mix (or another flavor) until well combined. Use about 2½ cups of this dry mixture in place of 1 (9” x 13” [23 x 33cm]) boxed cake mix.
Homemade Mixes
Prepare homemade cake mixes to use in place of packaged cake mixes listed in the recipes, if desired. For convenience, make a large batch ahead of time and store in an airtight container until needed.
White Cake Mix (large batch)
Makes enough for 3 (9” x 13” [23 x 33cm]) cakes or 6 (8” or 9” [20 or 23cm]) square cakes.
What You’ll Need:
• 7½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 4½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. baking powder
• ¾ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well blended. Place butter in a food processor and add 2 cups flour mixture. Cover and process until mixture is very fine and butter is evenly distributed. Return to bowl and whisk with remaining flour mixture.
Divide cake mix into three equal portions (about 4 cups each) by lightly scooping
