You have got to try this cake recipe!

[wyldgirl]

i must have done something wrong..
I dumped in this exact order... didn't mix, put it in the oven @ 350 for one hour and the cake mix is sitting on top RAW

well as soon as i quit laffin at "did you turn the oven on - came to give you a lil advice!

Try putting the cake mix in the pan first and cooking at 25 degrees more than called for until the cake starts rising. Then turn the oven back down. This will cause the top of the cake mix firm a little faster and not allow the other ingredients to sink through to the bottom.

If that doesn't work when the cake is done flip it upside down onto a platter like you would a pineapple upside down cake!

oh and got a question. Even though it fifn't look right how did it taste??

AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING STUPID .... WHEN YOU SO YELLOW CAKE CAKE MIX YOU DO INTEND ON US TO MIX UP CAKE ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS


Prior to dumping it in the pan right???????

 

[CareyG]

Not stupid at all msfilly, I was actually wondering the same thing because Judy doesnt mention if we make the cake mix into a batter or just dump the dry mix on top! lol ​

 

[judyb57]

No ladies, just dump the dry mix on. You mix nothing in this recipe fairy

That could be why Tazzie had a problem, maybe she made the cake mix first and dumped the batter on top?​

Nope I dumped everything in the pan in order... ( did I have to spread it out in the pan or just dump everything in on top of eachother?

 

[judyb57]

Well, I spread everything out after I dumped it in the pan (each layer)

 

[wyldgirl]

ok I re-tried it and did it right this time just "dumping"
everything in and , now here comes the kewl part,
this was a totally different cake than the first one!!
It looked like one of those "everything but the kitchen sink" end of the month throw togethers. But this one too was AWESOME!!

Well I did the just "dumping" the first time.. since it is called a "dump cake"
so tomorrow I am going to try layering each thing after I dump it
hence I will re name it a layered dump cake

Let us know how it turns out Tazzie! ​

 

[iataz]

The cake mix still stays raw in the middle

 

[judyb57]

You aren't draining the crushed pineapple are you? Using a 20 oz. crushed pineapple (with juice and 20 oz cherry pie filling?) I am sorry I don't know why you are having problems with this cake as I have made it plenty times with no issues at all.

 

[iataz]

Nope doing it exactly that way.. Wonder if my gas oven is actually getting to 350 degrees.. I will keep experimenting with it..

[iataz]

OMG

 

[judyb57]

Oh yeah, I forgot to say it doesnt really look like a cake, lmao
