Whipped topping or vanilla ice cream
- Saturate the cake mix with butter — dry, floury spots are the #1 dump-cake mistake. Tilt the pan or dot extra butter on any dry patches.
- Don't stir after layering — the distinct layers are what make a dump cake work.
- Serve warm for the gooiest cobbler effect.
