🍒 Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need:
- 2 bags (12 oz each) frozen mixed berries
Use a blend like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. - 1 box white cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz)
Preferably one without pudding in the mix. - 1 can (12 oz) clear soda
Diet 7-Up, Sprite, Sierra Mist, or even lemon-lime seltzer work fine.
🧁 Optional Add-ons (for the lovers)
For those who like a little extra love baked in:
- ½ tsp vanilla extract or almond extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or shredded coconut
- Fresh berries for garnish
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
🧑🍳 Instructions
This is what makes dump cakes famous: you dump and bake.
🍽️ Method:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with a bit of butter or spray.
- Layer the berries evenly in the dish. No need to thaw the frozen berries!
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix directly on top of the berries. Do not mix.
- Pour the soda gently and evenly over the cake mix. Try to moisten as much of the powder as possible. Again — do not stir.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling at the edges.
- Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for the ultimate comfort dessert.
❤️ The Lovers’ Touch
This dessert has fans everywhere. Some add cinnamon for a cozy fall vibe, while others sneak in a splash of amaretto for a grown-up version. But the true lovers of this dish are those who pass it on — mothers to daughters, roommates to roommates, TikTokers to followers.
This recipe is a love letter in a baking dish — sweet, warm, and a little messy, just like the best romances.
📖 A Little History
Dump cake recipes became popular in mid-20th century America, especially during the 1960s and 70s when boxed cake mixes were a pantry staple and homemakers sought quick, impressive desserts. The idea was simple: “dump” everything into a pan and bake. No bowls. No fuss.
Adding soda instead of butter or eggs? That’s a more modern twist, part of the wave of low-fat or diet-friendly baking ideas from the 1990s, now trending again in the digital age.
🏗️ Formation (Science Behind It)
The soda reacts with the cake mix to help it rise slightly and form a crispy, golden crust on top, while the berries release their juices below. The result is somewhere between a cobbler and a cake — syrupy, fluffy, and perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
