Honey Fig Dump Cake
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 15-ounce can fig preserves
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional but highly recommended
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9x13-inch baking dish. No need to grease it—this cake is already a bit of a rebel.
- Dump the fig preserves and honey into the baking dish and spread them out evenly. Go ahead, channel your inner Jackson Pollock.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the fig and honey layer. Try to distribute it evenly, but if it looks like a lunar landscape, that’s okay. We’re aiming for delicious, not perfection.
- Pour the melted butter over the cake mix as evenly as possible. This is where the magic happens, folks.
- If you're feeling fancy, sprinkle those chopped nuts over the top. They add a lovely crunch that’ll make you feel like a gourmet chef.
- Drizzle the water over the entire concoction. It helps keep things moist and fabulous.
- Pop that beauty into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Dig in with a spoon or serve in slices—there are no rules in the dump cake game!
