This Donut Dump Cake starts off with donuts from your favorite shop.

Next we’re adding milk, cake mix, and butter to make a donut dump cake.

Is this a breakfast item because of the donuts? Or totally a dessert?

You decide!

KEY TO SUCCESS #1 – USE A STURDY DONUT

We’re using bakery-style donuts for the base of our dump cake so it makes sense that we’ll need the perfect donuts.

You want to look for sturdy yeast donuts for this recipe.

We used Krispy Kreme donuts and they were a bit too delicate to hold up to all the toppings that we added on top of them.

Look for a thick donut with a nice glaze on the top.

I used six whole donuts and then I cut one donut into fourth and stuffed the pieces between the whole donuts to really fill up the pan.

This recipe would work with only six donuts just as easily.

KEY TO SUCCESS #2 – TWO TYPES OF MILK

Our Dump Cake recipes uses both evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk.

You will need one large can of each type of milk.

If you’re not familiar with evaporated milk, it can often be found in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips.

You can substitute any type of milk for the evaporated milk.

I think almond milk would be really good. You could even use regular 2% milk.

Start by pouring the evaporated milk all over the donuts.

Even pour it in the holes of the donuts.

Tip! To open a can of evaporated milk, shake the can then use a can opener to cut a 1-inch slit into one side of the lid.

Then turn the can of milk halfway around and puncture another hole with the can opener.

The smaller hole will allow air in so that the liquid will easily flow out the other side slowly without spilling everywhere.

After the evaporated milk, drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the donuts.

Do not mix.
