This Apricot Dream Dump Cake is like a sweet, sunshine-filled hug in dessert form! With its golden apricot filling and buttery, crumbly topping, it’s the perfect blend of fruit and cake that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will give you just enough time to contemplate whether you’ve ever actually seen an apricot in the wild.
Drain the apricot halves and arrange them evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Imagine you’re creating a fruity foundation for your dream cake—no pressure.
Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the apricots. No need to mix—this is a dump cake, after all. Channel your inner lazy diva!
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans over the cake mix, then dust with cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s like a tropical vacation meets a cozy autumn day!
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake. Every inch of that cake mix should get some buttery love.
Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. The smell wafting through your kitchen will be so good, your neighbors might "accidentally" drop by.
Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and enjoy the sweet, dreamy deliciousness.
