Get ready… S’more Butterscotch Caramel Dump Cake is coming your way and OMG it’s a problem, literally.

When one of your best friends calls you and says, “GABY THEN YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS DUMP CAKE.” You can’t ignore that! Basically that’s how it was when Adam called a few weeks ago and said we just made most of the pie. I thought: what is dump cake?!? And then I threw myself down a rabbit hole of thinking how to get my Gaby touch to do it, and HERE WE ARE. The result is insanely delicious. And you can’t count on being alone with this cake.

Ingredients

Unsalted Butter
Box of Chocolate Cake Mix – are you shocked? You shouldn’t be. Sometimes all you need is a box of cakes from the store. It’s also crucial when traveling when you’re baking and don’t want to fill an entire pantry
Marshmallow Cream – the kind in a jar
Instant Chocolate Pudding
milk
Marshmallows
Graham crackers
Trader Joe’s Butterscotch Caramel Chocolate Balls (or any other favorite chocolate or butterscotch balls)

How to make a dump cake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9″ x 9″ nonstick baking pan with non-stick baking spread and line parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and cake mix, then press into the prepared baking pan to form an even layer. It will be thick – don’t worry.
Using a rubber spatula, scoop the marshmallow topping onto the cake mix and spread evenly. Mix the pudding mixture and milk and spoon it onto the marshmallow cream mixture. Top with marshmallows and graham crackers.
Set the cake pan on a baking sheet (don’t forget this part as it will prevent drips from getting onto your oven), place in the oven and bake until the marshmallows are quite puffy and the cake is firm around the edges is 1 hour. Remove the pan from the oven and let it set for 30 minutes. the marshmallows are emptied. Top with the chopped butterscotch balls. To serve, sprinkle with whipped cream and top with additional graham cracker crumbs.
