Why you get dry spots in your dump cakes and how to prevent them
I’ve tested this so many times and I’ve only found 3 ways that work the best. One removes the possibility for a dry spot and the other greatly reduces it. Placing the slices of butter or pouring melted butter on top is super unreliable and inconsistent.
Grating the butter, place the butter in the freezer for 20 minutes then grate it. Spread the butter gratings across the top of the cake mix in the baking pan and it consistently reduces the dry spots.
Cutting the butter into the mix, my favorite is cutting the butter into the dry mix where you use your hands or a pastry cutter. Mix the butter into the mix while cold and sprinkle it across the filling. The tops always come out with any dry spots and crusty with a soft cake underneath.
Food processor, this mimics cutting the butter into the mix but much faster.
