Ah, the thrill of a flaming dessert!
While this Cherries Jubilee Dump Cake is already a showstopper, adding a little fire could take it to a whole new level of diva-liciousness.
To safely set this cake aflame, you’d want to heat about 1/4 cup of brandy or kirsch in a small saucepan until warm (but not boiling), then carefully ignite it with a long match or lighter just before serving. Pour the flaming liquid over the cake for that dramatic, restaurant-worthy finish.
Just be sure to keep the fire extinguisher nearby—you know, for those “just in case” diva moments!
