Notes
Do I need to refrigerate this dump cake?Yes, after you’ve served it and have leftovers, we recommend storing this in an airtight sealed container for 3-4 days at most.
Is dump cake gooey?Oh yes, so very, very gooey. If you’ve had a lava cake, this is a few steps in gooeyness past the lava center. The cake will be gooey, but will not be runny. If it is runny, it is not baked.
What is the best way to reheat this dump cake?The quickest and easiest way is to put a portion on a plate and toss it in the microwave, but if you’re trying to reheat it as a whole, the oven at 325° for 10-15 minutes will do it.
