Death by Dump Cake

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"Eat at your own risk. A childhood tradition was to eat dump cake with lots of fake "vanilla" flavored ice cream. I miss those days! Now a new tradition that is served every year on New Year's Eve."

 

• Ready In: 1hr

ingredients

• 1 (18 ounce) box white cake mix (I've also used spice cake mix) or (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix (I've also used spice cake mix)

• 1 1⁄2 cups walnuts or 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped

directions

1. Grease a large, 10" diameter, deep tube pan.

3. Cut butter up into pats and dot top of cake mix.

I make this cake all the time. I usually use pineapple upside down cake mix. Oh to die for

This was easy to make and apparently very tasty. I tried it but it was way too sweet for me. I will be making this again though because my family has requested it again.

Thanks Cookgirl! This recipe was so easy and so yummy. It was great with icecream and my family scarfed it up! This does make an easy holiday get together dessert.
