My Tips for Dump Cake Success
- Don’t overmix—just layer each component for the best texture.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a silky cheesecake layer.
- For richer flavor, use half cream cheese, half ricotta or mascarpone.
- Try adding a splash of almond extract or extra lemon zest for a brighter flavor.
- Always let the cake set before slicing for neat pieces.
