Stir in fresh pitted cherries, and top the finished cake with whipped cream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stir in mix-ins:<\/strong> We love a good mash-up of dump cakes and candy, as with this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-oreo-dump-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-oreo-dump-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Oreo dump cake<\/a>. Stir in chopped-up chocolate bars, fruits, mini marshmallows or nuts as desired. If you want to take this chocolate dump cake into Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cup territory, top it with creamy peanut butter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a touch of caffeine:<\/strong> One of our favorite ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-make-cake-mix-taste-homemade\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-make-cake-mix-taste-homemade\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">make a boxed cake mix taste homemade<\/a> is by adding caffeine. You can dissolve instant coffee granules into the milk before pouring it into the pan. This doesn\u2019t create a coffee or espresso flavor but instead enriches and deepens the chocolate flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try it in the slow cooker:<\/strong> Assemble the dump cake in a slow-cooker insert just as you would in a 13&#215;9-inch baking pan. Place the lid back on the slow cooker and cook the cake on high for two hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chocolate Dump Cake<\/h2>\n<p>While this cake is best served fresh, room-temperature leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you don\u2019t want to enjoy it chilled, warm it up in the microwave for that freshly baked effect.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze chocolate dump cake?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to freeze your chocolate dump cake, cut it into serving-sized portions before freezing.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate Dump Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1998313\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Chocolate-Dump-Cake_FT22_59261_ST_10_04_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"overhead shot of Chocolate Dump Cake with ice cream served in two small bowls\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with chocolate dump cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Once your cake finishes baking, it will definitely be rich enough to serve alone, or you can top it with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">sweetened whipped cream<\/a> or vanilla ice cream. Of course, chocolate ice cream is always an option too. When a chocolate craving hits, it\u2019s hard to resist!<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use other pans to bake this chocolate dump cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! Not everyone has a 13&#215;9-inch baking pan at the ready, and that\u2019s OK! This recipe for chocolate dump cake can be baked in a 12-inch skillet, two 9-inch round pans or two 8-inch square pans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This chocolate dump cake fits right in with busy schedules; it requires no sifting, whisking or decorating.
