Dump cake mix

[Hilary1220]

I just prepared a peach cobbler dump cake. Some of the cake mix is still not cooked on top, and I'm wondering if I melt some more butter and pour it over the dry cake mix if that will cook it. Has anybody ever had a problem like this? I am leaving for Thanksgiving dinner in about 2 hours and that this is what I was going to bring. I don't think the other guests will want to eat raw cake mix. Thanks for any help.

Bake it some in the microwave. Try about 3 minutes at a time until it gets done enough to eat.

Thanks. Already in car on our way. However what I did was melt some butter, poured it on the uncooked cake mix, and baked it for another ten minutes. I guess I'll find out if it worked later on. Good thing we are also bringing a pre-made sweet potato pie!! ☺

Dump cakes can be tricky when it comes to getting butter to melt properly over the whole top part. My husband actually showed me a brilliant way to conquer this:

Instead of pouring melted butter over the top, use a cheese slicer to slice thin long pats of butter off the stick long ways. Completely cover the top of the dry cake mix in this fashion to avoid dry spots

If the cake mix on top isn’t fully cooked, try covering the cobbler with foil and baking it a bit longer at the same temperature. You can check it every 10 minutes until it’s cooked through. If you’re short on time, you might also try broiling it for a few minutes to help the top brown. Hopefully, this will help you get the cobbler ready in time for Thanksgiving!
