Champagne Berry Dump Cake
Oh, darling, let me tell you about the time I decided to get all fancy with my desserts and ended up creating something so fabulous, it could only be described as a Champagne Berry Dump Cake.
Now, don’t let the word “dump” fool you—this cake is the epitome of effortless elegance (just like me on a good day).
You see, I had a bottle of champagne that was begging to be used for something other than just celebrating my latest Netflix binge, and a bunch of berries that were on the verge of becoming freezer fossils.
So, what did I do? I threw them together with a box of cake mix and enough butter to make Paula Deen proud, and voila! A bubbly, berry-studded masterpiece was born.
This cake is perfect for when you want to impress without breaking a sweat—and trust me, darling, no one needs to know how easy it was.
Just smile, serve it warm, and sip on the leftover champagne as you bask in the glory of your culinary genius!
