Chef's Notes
Do not stir the layers after adding the butter! The magic of a dump cake relies entirely on the butter soaking down into the dry flour to create a cobbler-like crust as it bakes.
Pro Tip
If your frozen fruit releases an excessive amount of liquid during the thaw, don't panic. Simply increase the cornstarch by half a tablespoon to keep your filling rich and luscious rather than soup-like.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping clumps of unmelted butter onto the flour instead of evenly drizzling the melted butter, leaving you with patchy, bone-dry flour spots that taste like raw library paste.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the Royal Chef for a recipe that didn't require me to be a scientist, so he gave me this—it's basically 'throw it in a box and pray' turned into a fine dining experience.
The Culinary Science
Baking powder releases carbon dioxide gas when heated and combined with moisture, causing pockets of air to expand in your flour topping, transforming a dense paste into a light, cakey crust.

Storage Science
Cakes and soft desserts should be wrapped tightly to prevent moisture loss and stored at room temperature (if no perishable fillings) or refrigerated. Consume within 3 days.
Reheating Science
Serve at room temperature for optimal flavor perception, as cold mutes sweetness. If it's a baked pastry, flash-heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 3-5 minutes to restore the butter matrix and crispness.
