thanks a bunch, thats it!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great except Jiffy went out of business. We can't get it around here anymore (Long Island NY).

I don't think JIFFY is out of business! Our stores still have all the mixes!*S*

wow Joann you do good work.

All the grocery stores, including Target and K-mart in my area still carry Jiffy mixes.

The recipe sounds good (and fattening). I think I'll try it with a can of Blueberry pie filling.

Thank you for the recipe!

dumb question I guess.. but do you put the DRY cake mix over the pie filling or do you add the ingredients called for on the cake mix box, like you would normally?

I have a recipe similar to that, but I make the cake mix. I love it with vanilla ice cream.
_____________
Cherry Pudding (strange name for it)

2 T butter
dash of salt
3/4 cu sugar.....mix together and set aside.
___________
1 c flour
1 T Baking Powder

Sift and add alternatively to first mixture with 1/2 c milk.

Heat cherries and 3/4 c sugar and pour into pan. Then drop batter on top.

We still have Jiffy Mix in southern California. I always buy their cornbread mix as we prefer a less-sweet cornbread. I saw it packaged as a six-pack in the past few months.

We still have it here too.(NM)
Vala-That is similar to the recipe I have made for years.We call it Magic Cobbler.It was one of the most requested desserts when we had our little cafe.Use any canned fruit with syrup,light syrup or packed in it's own juice.I have also used cherry pie filling mixed with other fruit and by itself with a little water added.Use your imagination.Easy,easy to make!

Magic Cobbler
1 large can fruit with juice
1 C flour
1 C sugar
1 C milk
2 tsp baking powder
1 stick of butter(not margarine)
Mix flour,sugar,milk and baking powder
Melt the butter in an 8X10 glass or metal baking dish.Mix flour,sugar,baking powder and milk and pour over the melted butter.Distribute the fruit and juice somewhat evenly over the top and bake for 25-30 min at 350 until lightly browned.the crust will rise to the top.Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.YUMMMM!

I saw Jiffy mix at Dollar Tree today

jennava - just pour/sprinkle the dry Jiffy cake mix over the pie filling. Do not add ingredients like you would if you were making a cake.

Jiffy Mixes are readily available here (Minn). Saw them at both the grocery store and at Walgreens today.

thanks for answering Duluthinbloomz4 looking forward to trying this

I love this one with Blueberry pie filling!! Might just have to make that this week!!

Just go to Jiffymix.com and they have a place you can request their free cook book using their mixes. I have done it before and they are pretty nice. I think they send out maybe two books, lots of recipes.

Jiffy mix is available at Amazon

I live in Long island, Kings Par NY, Suffolk county. I can still get several Jiffy products locally, specifically at the Key Food Market in my town.

Jiffy mixes are all available here in the Great Lakes area too. Never been gone. Still made in Chelsea, MI, as far as I know.

I like to combine the cornbread mix with a box of the Jiffy yellow cake mix, and follow the directions for both. It makes the cornbread less crumbly. Thanks for the recipe for the cobbler, and mentioning the free cookbook. I have just ordered mine.

I make this cobbler as well but use a 1/2 pkg of regular yellow cake mix. Jiffy mixes available here are only the cornbread.....and maybe a nut or date bread mix at Christmas.

My mom made it with a whole box of regular yellow cake mix, maybe she used to cans of pie filling. I am not sure.

This thread is over 8 years old, bumped by a new user's first post.

And its still relevant, Elmer! Reminds me of a favorite recipe of mine that the grands like with vanilla ice cream, either hot out of the oven or leftover at room temp. Our family likes the peach version.

:) Cake is always relevant. The Dump Cake sounds good about now with a

cup of coffee.

Fresh cherry cobbler friend prepared for our Mexican train group! um um good!

There's a lot of dump cake recipes. I have not found a bad one yet. I do them with spiced apples, blackberries, peaches, strawberry etc. Super easy and very tasty.

Weird timing. Last week my neighbor gave me a huge container of blueberries along with a yellow cake mix and the simple recipe to make a blueberry dump cake. She raved about how good it was so I made the cake and picked up vanilla ice cream to go with it.

It was disappointing and I won't make it again. I even asked her over to have some with me and she thought it was perfect.

So I checked the Epicurious web site and found a great post about how to make a better dump cake. This one I will try again - she uses a homemade yellow cake mix, fresh blueberries, fresh (or frozen) peaches and tops with nuts for texture.

Y'ALL...now I'm going to have to make a cobbler or something with canned pie filling! YUM! Doesn't help that I'm starving right now as I'm reading this thread. I, for one, am glad that someone brought this great thread back to life!

Elmer just wants to keep y'all from eating 8 year old dump cake.

Well, I can't speak for the rest of you, but there's no danger of a cake sitting around for that long at my house!

"Elmer just wants to keep y'all from eating 8 year old dump cake."

That hadn't occurred to me but I'd certainly do whatever I could to encourage people to avoid making OR eating anything having overly sweet canned fruit and packaged cake mix. Use fresh fruit and a cake recipe that relies on real ingredients. The outcome will have to be better.
