Do you mix the cake with egg, etc., first as some said on this site or do you use the dry mix over the fruit??

I always made it like the recipe calls for. You could use any fruit, even the fruit cocktail if you wanted.

No egg. Just the dry mix and butter or margarine. The end result isn't
actually a cake. It has more of a crumbly topping over the fruit.

I always keep a couple three boxes of yellow cake mix in my pantry,
usually Dunkin Hines, for those cold winter days when I feel like a
cake but I'm too lazy to make one from scratch... your box cake sounds
like pineapple upside down cake to me... alls you need is canned
pineapple rings, dark brown sugar, maraschino cherries if you like,
and some real budder... add some Coco Lopez and rum to make it pina
colada style. Very easy peasy and mucho bueno:
http://i60.tinypic.com/2irz37.jpg

I use it for pineapple upside down cake, using pineapple juice from the can of
pineapple in place of half the liquid called for. It will be plenty for an 8 or 9 inch
cake, plus some cupcakes. Yum.

Use it for a dump cake. My grandma called hers Cherry Jazz because she used
cherry pie filling but you can use any kind of fruit. If just plain canned
fruit, I would drain the liquid off. Put the fruit in your pan, sprinkle
the cake mix over the top and then add two sticks of melted butter or
margarine. I am assuming this is is for a two layer cake. I would use less
for a single layer. I always used one stick for a single layer but... My
grandma's recipe said to use one or two sticks for the single layer box.
Two would be overkill for me I think. Just dump it on and bake. I can't
remember the bake time. Pretty sure it was 350 degrees and probably
somewhere around 20-30 minutes. Just bake until it browns on the top.

What? That's not even something I make! I made it once, many years ago
when I was cooking for a large bunch of people at my in-law's house. Most
people did like it. But my husband and daughter did not. I tried making it
once again many years later because I know that I liked it when I was
little. Not that we had it often. We did not. Again they didn't like it.
So I never made it again. It's a very common recipe.

My sister in law makes an orange cake that she says people can't tell
the difference between boxed and scratch, so she uses boxed most of
the time. I tried to find a link to something similar to what I
remember what she said she did, but couldn't. She roasts whole
oranges and grinds them in the food processor to add. Here's a web
site with some suggestions. I'm gravitating toward the coconut milk
idea.

I made an orange cake but put no actual fruit in it. I did use orange zest
and orange juice in place of water. Also a little orange food coloring.

But my favorite cake to make with a yellow cake mix was chocolate tweed. I
used to make this from scratch but then learned that adding chocolate to a
yellow cake mix yields the exact same result. You just grate three squares
of good, unsweetened chocolate and add it to your mix before baking. I
would use a fudge frosting on this.

If there was any cook on rfc left, who didn't realise Julie is a
troll, this should convince them.

Wha? Why in the world would you say that? Seriously... Consumer Reports
reported that cake mixes were one of the few things where it paid to buy
them. Not only is it cheaper to make a cake from a mix but the end results
are the same.

I've never heard of the grating chocolate into batter to get "tweed"
idea, but I like it!

I had a box about a year ago or so and didn't know what to do with it.

I ended up making an apple cake (or maybe an apple-upside-down cake?)

In a 9x13 pyrex baking dish, I put a layer of melted butter on the
bottom and sprinkled it with a bit of brown sugar. Added one layer of
apple slices.

Mixed up the cake mix as per directions but I did also add more small
apple slices to the mix. Pour that over the apples in the dish and
bake as directed. It was very good!

Bake it in three thin layers, make key lime filling as follows: 1/2
cup lime juice, 1 1/2 cups whipped cream, 1 can sweetened condensed
milk (chilled), zest of two limes. Mix till thickened. Spread between
layers. Top cake with 1/2 cup whipped cream, garnish with lime slices.

Can't read the whole thread right now, but check out the books "White
Trash Cooking" and "The Treasury of White Trash Cooking" and search under
"cake."

More than one such recipe there - and in the case of the whiskey cake with
chocolate chips, those can easily be omitted, I would guess.

Oh gawd! I can't stand that dump cake woman. Angela was very enamored with
the product she was touting prior. I can't remember now what it was called.
Some sort of lidded, griddle thing. She made what was essentially a
quesadilla but she didn't call it that.

Oh it got to bugging me and now I had to look it up. She is Cathy Mitchell
and the product is called a GT Express. I could see no reason whatever to
have it. It's the sort of thing that people who don't know how to cook
might think was useful. Angela was like... I could make that...and
that...and that... And I was like... I can make them too. In this thing
we already have. It's called a skillet!

People are talking about here here and it's kinda funny.

http://www.datalounge.com/cgi-bin/io...hread,14195627

I guess there must be a market for that dump cake book though because the
infomercials are still on. Not sure I had heard about the dump dinners
though. Wouldn't that be a casserole?
