ok, so needless to say this place is a sausage fest, and it's pretty much a given most guys can't cook anything that doesn't involve twist top or ramen noodles. seeing as i have a hobby of baking things, i thought i'd give you all a christmas present and toss you something easy to do for those holiday dinners. even though christmas is a month away i'll go ahead and throw it at you now so you can try it for yourself beforehand, use it on thanksgiving, and of course there are those countless dinners and parties to grace with your nerditude throughout december. here's a little something i do when i ain't got the time to spend hours in the kitchen, have a bunch of functions back to back, or just plain wanna pig out (it's damn tasty). it's deceptively simple, and tastes good enough to trick everyone into thinking you're an ironchef.
I call it......................
DUMPCAKE!!!
teehee!
why dumpcake? cuz basically all you really have to do is dump everything in a pan, though it tastes like a cobbler, "cake" just works better
what j00 needs:
yellow cake mix
sticks of REAL BUTTER, don't go cheap, flavor is spelled B U T T E R, usually 1 and a half does it
3 cans of pie filling, 28 ish ounces or so each, i usually try to go for something a little interesting color/texture wise, i usually use real fruity ones like cherry, apple, and blueberry, pineapple is also good instead of apple( i just have an aversion to citrus), who cares, have fun with it, if it sounds like it would be good together it probably will
pecans if you wish, how many is up to you, you can either smother the thing with em or just sprinkle them about
rectangular cake pan, glass/pyrex works best, if you use metal you will need to spray it with a non-stick spray
mine is 9x13
French Vanilla ice cream, go ahead and get the good stuff like breyers, something where you can pronounce all the ingredients
WHAT J00 D00
YOU HEAT!
heat your oven to 3-fitty durgrees
edit:350 degrees F for those of you silly enough not to speak american as your primary language
YOU DUMP!
all three cans of pie filling, mix it all together, or stripe the pan with it like neopolitan ice cream
YOU SHAKE!
the cake mix so it evenly covers the pie filling, LET IT SIT ON TOP, DO NOT MIX IT IN!! also ignore all instructions on the cake box
edit: leave it dry, you may want to work the clumps out in a bowl first, it's easier than on top of the pie filling
YOU MELT!
the buttah, you have to carefully smear it over the top of the cake mix until it at least covers the cake mix evenly ( use a plastic spoon to push it over the top of the cake mix, not into it), if you want more go for it, just remember the more you gots the crunchier/harder the cake mix will get, i usually just do one even coating.
edit: you'll end up with a butter sludge on top, but if you look at the sides of the pan it (the cake mix layer) will be dry in the middle, don't worry it sinks straight down while cooking, if you try to mix it in yourself you end up with it being uneven or holes of burnt pie filling sticking out
YOU OPT!
for the pecans, or not, i don't care dammit, though keep in mind if it's a large party some people may be allergic to them
YOU BAKE!
the whole thang for about an hour, the glass comes in handy cuz you can see it bubbling and see when it starts scorching the pie filling, usually when the cake mix has completely crustified you're done
edit: a little brown around the edges
YOU COOL!
time varies according to where and how you cool it. you want it steaming warm and thick, if it's too hot it's runny
YOU SERVE!
this is where the ice cream comes in, dumbass
YOU IMPRESS!
your coworkers, girlfriends, fiancees, boyfriends, wives, husbands, and their families/friends
YOU GET LAID!
and end up thinking of me the entire time
what's it look/taste like?
cobbler
how much do i have to clean up?
whatever you used to melt the butter with, a spoon, and the pan you serve it in
how long does it take?
prep time: 10 minutes
bake time: 1 hour
karma me when you taste it's yummy goodness bitches
if i edit it will be with the corresponding steps, if i figure out the highlight thing i'll use it
thanks for the highlight tip mouse315, you gots k coming
