Yes, you can experiment with different flavors of cake mix such as white cake, butter pecan, or even spice cake for a unique twist.
Ensure that the melted butter is evenly distributed over the cake mix. If the cake mix is still dry after baking, you can drizzle a little more melted butter over the top and return it to the oven for a few minutes.
Top Tips

- Allow the dump cake to cool for a bit before serving. This will help the flavors meld and make it easier to cut and serve.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
