Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh fruit instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh fruits like diced peaches and crushed pineapple, but ensure they're properly prepared and sweetened to taste. The moisture content may vary, so adjust baking time accordingly to ensure the cake is cooked through.
What if I don't have a 9 x 13-inch pan?
If you don't have a 9 x 13-inch pan, you can use two smaller baking dishes or a deeper dish. Just be mindful that the baking time may vary based on the size and depth of your pan, so keep an eye on it as it bakes.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dump cake ahead of time and bake it later. Simply assemble the ingredients in the pan and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. When ready to bake, remove the wrap and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if it’s coming straight from the fridge.
