Cranberry Dump Cake
Jan 19, 2026 10:53 AM
The beauty of this berry dump cake is that it's wonderfully low-stress. You layer the filling, sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top, drizzle the butter and let the oven do the rest. No beating. No creaming. No fussing. It uses pantry staples, but it's also a way to use leftover cranberry sauce.
It's the festive dessert that works for potlucks, small holiday dinners, lazy Sundays and those days when you want something warm and gooey without the effort.
