classic “Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa” cake — a famously simple Southern dump cake recipe that’s easy to remember because the main ingredients are each “a cup of” something.
Here’s the basic recipe, often attributed to Paula Deen or general Southern tradition:
Ingredients:
-
1 cup of self-rising flour
-
1 cup of sugar
-
1 cup of fruit cocktail (with its juice)
-
1 stick (½ cup) butter, melted
Optional extras:
-
Vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nuts for topping
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Mix flour and sugar in a bowl.
-
Stir in the fruit cocktail with juice.
-
Pour melted butter into a baking dish (about 8×8 inch), then pour the batter over it — do not stir.
-
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden and set.
The name comes from the “cup” measurements and how easy it is to recall: “cuppa flour, cuppa sugar, cuppa fruit.”
