aphrodite's vanilla cake with dragon fruit compote
I took a milder approach to creating a dump cake. I exchanged out canned fruit pie filling for frozen mango chucks and box of vanilla cake mix. I also mixed the defrosted mango chucks in the dry cake mix first instead of plain just dump-it-in - the - pan, don't- stir-it approach. Then I dumped it in the cake pan, dotted it with butter and baked it.
