Traditional King Cake Dump Cake
This Traditional King Cake Dump Cake brings the Mardi Gras party straight to your kitchen, with layers of apple pie filling, buttery cake mix, and a riot of colorful sprinkles. It’s as easy as a parade down Bourbon Street—just without the cleanup!
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix because we’re keeping it simple, darling
- 2 21-ounce cans apple pie filling (a little fruit never hurt anyone, right?)
- 1/2 cup butter melted (the more butter, the better)
- 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar for that extra Mardi Gras zing
- 1/4 cup colored sugar sprinkles purple, green, and gold, because it's not Mardi Gras without them
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You know the drill.
- In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the apple pie filling evenly. Channel your inner artist—this is your canvas.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the apple pie filling. It’s like a sugary fairy dusting your cake with magic.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the apple filling. Yes, just dump it right on there—no need to mix, we’re rebels today.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix. Make sure every inch gets a buttery bath.
- Sprinkle the colored sugar sprinkles on top. Go wild—this is where you channel your Mardi Gras spirit!
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. (If your kitchen smells like a carnival, you’re doing it right.)
