JOHNNY I WAS SO BORED WAITING FOR YOU TO COME OUT WITH A VID!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ BLESS YOU
Please get B Dylan Hollis on the channel!!
Have you tried soda cake? It’s one can of soda and one box of cake mix.. you pick each flavor. Choose a combo of your choice that would flavor well together.
@aimeeweeks6687 literally this video ❤ js
he made a soda cake.
Saw a tweet that read "abandoning atheism because I gotta believe there's a hell for some of you" and I think that's my current take on god. Thanks for asking Jonny.
That's awesome 👍
I agree.
So this kind of reminds me of my childhood in a catholic household.. don't judge yet! Purgatory, I learned, is where everyone has to go to pay for sins, big or small. Everyone has to feel the pain they caused others, 10 fold. So the worse you are, the worse the pain and length of time in purgatory. I find comfort in believing in that small thing, haha.
That's hilarious
This train of thought is how I am now religious
TIPS for DUMP CAKES. 1-Two cans of Pie filling always. 2- Don’t melt butter just chop two cold sticks up in squares and cover evenly on top the butter slowly melts and covers all the dry cake mix. 3- Set oven to 350 degrees and cook for an hour makes the cake golden brown. At least that’s what my Nana use to do and taught me to do. Dump cakes are a Big hit at any pot luck or social gathering. Love your Videos Jonny 😁
Nana knew what she was doing! 🤩
that butter tip is huge, thanks to you and your nana for sharing!
YESSSS COLD BUTTER SLICES 😊
I have always done 2 cans as well! But the butter trick is a new one! Cherry Pineapple dump cake has been my family's Easter dessert for years, so perfect timing to try the butter trick!
I made mine that way. It wasn't good. Too much raw cake mix
The advertisements for that woman’s dump cake have always stuck in my mind without me paying anything for them. I really like her.
Cathy Mitchell. She was usually the GT Express 101 and the like, and several alternative cooking methods with cookbooks. I love her infomercials.
Cathy Mitchell did a bunch of vids and Matteo Lane has been doing comic vids w them, pls watch them.❤
@paulalarsen7697 youre talking to a clanker
Someone once commented, 'I love whatever is wrong with Jonny' and that's all I am thinking about when I watch his videos
Ooo you should try making homemade dog treats and have Cornbread test and "rate" them, based on how he reacts to them 🐶
I gotta do that
@thejonnycakes Check Jade the Sable GSD for ideas. She has a lot of recipes her dogs love.
@thejonnycakesdo the secret cornbread recipes. They look bizarre
@thejonnycakeshow do you know Cornbread didn’t type that comment? 👀
@thejonnycakesyeah so I can make them for my mom’s new dog
Fun Fact! Cake mixes used to include everything required (including powdered eggs) and only required water to be added, but home cooks felt like they were "cheating" by not doing something, so the manufacturers made the mixes to require eggs and oil, they sold much better.
Australia 🇦🇺 I get a cake mix and muffin mix at a flour mill store that you only add water. Absolutely delicious
The angel food cake mix I use is add water only.
What ingredient would be the powdered egg? Because my cake mixes I buy don't include powdered egg or any egg product that I'm aware of. And we have an egg allergy in my house so I'm reading the labels constantly. And where I live, any allergens must legally be listed underneath the ingredients and there is nothing about eggs.
@alishacoombes8476 They don't include them anymore because consumers didn't feel like it was "baking" if you didn't add things like eggs and oil. (The way I worded it above might have been read in the opposite way, apologies.)
@xingcatcool! Thank you for the clarification!! I was afraid I had missed something critical!!
Did anyone notice in the, Frosting Hack, the lady added a stick of butter? I didn’t see Jonny do that. Am I missing something?!? Cookies looked AWESOME!!! ❤😊
I saw the same think she shoved a whole stick of butter
He missed it as evidenced by his saying she practically made American buttercream - she *totally* made American buttercream to add to canned frosting! 😂
I noticed it. And also, she said, it's supposed to be SALTED butter. To balance the sweetness
I was about to say! I was straight up screaming at the screen that he didn't put butter in lol!😂😂😂
Was definitely talking to my computer "You forgot the butter, dude you forgot the butter!" lol
As a lazy girl who’s always in the mood for chocolate I NEEEEEEDD you to try all the mug cake recipes for me and tell me which one gives you the most bang for your buck🙏🏽I’ve made TONS of them and I always change up the recipe based on what’s in the pantry, sometimes egg, sometimes oil, sometimes milk, always flour cocoa powder sugar and salt. Help señor cakes😭
My dad once accidentally tried making hot chocolate for himself using a mug cake recipe. He was very confused as to why it wasn't mixing well
We do 3-2-1 cakes. So in a gallon bag you mix a box of angel food cake and a second box of whatever flavor cake you want. In a mug you put 3 tablespoons of the mix, 2 tablespoons of water (and mix it), then pop it in the microwave for 1 min. SO GOOD❤
Obsessed with how he changes the rating system every single video
No I know
@thejonnycakesooh maybe you could do a DIY emoji of Cornbread’s head (or a dog emoji) and make it 1-5 Cornbreads instead of 1-5 stars!
You forgot a whole stick of salted butter in the icing 😭 no wonder it was too sweet
Tbf if anything I feel like that makes the hack worse because at that point just make buttercream from scratch
I love when i watch a silly little cake hacks video and suddenly im having an existential crisis thinking about god and reliving religious trauma. Thanks Jonny!
Calling Dylan Hollis "This guy" is criminal 😭
Dump cake is SUPPOSED to have 2 cans of the fruit pie filling! Good call, Jonny.
22:09 she added a whole stick of butter too……… 🤔
Right?!? He totally missed that part
I caught this as well.
The sheer length of silence during the time you were guzzling placenta out of a ziploc piping bag is really going to stick with me for a hot minute.
I was expecting him to have a tiny bit, then it just kept going 😭
My mom used to make this from a military wives cookbook. It was called “Panic” because the idea was that you would panic because you had unexpected guests and you needed something easy to make for them. I never heard it called “Dump Cake” until I was grown and moved far away from home.
As someone who makes dump cakes a lot you should mix the butter in the cake mix and dump it on top and serve with a scoop of ice cream for best results
I’ve always just left the butter cold and put it evenly in very thin pats on top and you get better coverage than when it’s melted
@TheGwennifer211 That's what I do. I also sometimes add chopped pecans on top before baking.
I have never mixed the butter in the cake mix. Just put the butter on top.
Another vote for leaving the butter on top. My favorite version is cherry pie filling with yellow cake. For decades this was one of two dishes other than grilling that my FIL would make (he cooks more now).
I have made dump cake for 50+ years and have never mixed the butter and cake mix. That is against the whole concept of dump cake. It does work better if you drizzle the butter a little more evenly than he did.
3:37 yes, i believe in God thanks for asking, keep up the epic JohnnyCakes videos johnny.
Yes, that is how Crumbl makes their cookies. Someone sneakily took a picture of their kitchen and their "secret recipe" is cake mix.
I used to work at crumbl, I never used cake mixes
Well whether or not they use cake mixes, making cake mix cookies at home means you can at least make sure they're not still raw in the middle
it depends on the flavor of cookie -an ex crumbl employee
@lizh9939 neither did i but i do believe the cake mix scandal happened like right after i left. it only happens for certain flavors of the cookies. idk about the cakes and pies and stuff cuz thats past my time
@saturn888bit is it a mix that they’ve had custom made for them based on their own recipes? So that the taste is uniform
I feel like it’s a big difference between shipping out your own ingredient mix to your shops to use vs buying like a Betty Crocker cake/cookie mix and using that
5:51 My mom used to make me heart shaped strawberry boxed cakes every year for my birthday! Such a sweet memory that comes when seeing those betty crocker boxes 🩷
As soon as you mentioned Dump Cake my mind immediately went to B. Dylan Hollis lol 😂 Collab when??
I hope soon! Haha😊
@thejonnycakesI want this so bad
Yes!!
6:49 im way too immature to NOT giggle at that 😂
Subbing a can of soda for the wet ingredients is a vegan cake-mix hack that’s been around for a long time 🎉 Edit: you do have to adjust baking time
it's also a shelf stable way to have it on hand. Makes it a good food pantry kit.
Also, don't knock the pan to get out the air bubbles! The carbonation is what helps keep it from being stodgy!
This is also a dieters trick from back in the day, it goes with fat free icing. Say it with me better than nothing.
I learned it from a friend whose son was allergic to eggs! You can also sub applesauce!
16:28 strawberry cake mix and strawberry Fanta!!! Add fresh whip cream!! 😂
PUT SOME RESPECT ON CATHY MITCHELL'S NAME she knew what was up with the dump cake
I ate my words!!!!
I've heard if you go into the kitchen holding a can of diet soda, spin around while saying Cathy Mitchell's name 3 times, Matteo Lane will appear and start singing.
@TaylorPS97😂😂😂
19:12 her mug says "Arse On Dat" because she's from Newfoundland, Canada 😊 it's one of our weird sayings, and the mug version cuts off the full quote which is "Arse on dat, knows that can't shit" and would you believe it's actually a compliment? 😅
In Ireland "look at the arse on dat" is basically "omg Becky, look at her butt" 😂
@Rose-jz6sxyes! I'm sure it's passed down from our Irish ancestors 😅 NL is basically mini Ireland
The mug has an Irish flag though, so I'd assume it's based on the Irish expression.
@mikkifinethat's the old Newfoundland flag, it's got pink white and green
@mikkifineyes for sure
5:42 I grew up with dump cakes made in a Dutch oven by the fire on scout trips. They’re really incredible when it’s cold outside and this comes out of the campfire.
*WoW!* now there's a tip!!
🤍🔥🤍🔥🤍🔥🤍🔥🤍🔥🤍
We just did this on our last camping trip! You're right, it is something special after a busy day in the woods.
Oh heck yeah we used to do dutch oven dump cakes using chocolate milk and cherry pie filling to be kinda-sorta like Black Forest cake.
jonny i mean this in the nicest way possible you remind me of my last traumatic relationship but like a not toxic version of them. love you king
Explaining canning: it all started back in the day with Napoleon - no joke. There was a need to make military rations, food for deployed soldiers. Years later, with the availability of the mason jar, regular folks could preserve their harvested items to have food available in the cold or cropless months as well as out of season. Food history is fun ❤
And it was a very long time before someone invented the can opener😂
Other 3-2-1 recipe: Mix any flavored boxed cake mix with a boxed angel food cake mix. DON’T ADD ANYTHING ELSE…YET. When you want a little mug cake, mix together THREE tablespoons of the combined cake mix and TWO tablespoons water. Bake in the microwave for ONE minute. Yum! 3-2-1 cake!!
Yeah and don’t double the recipe like he does in the video…642 doesn’t work the same as 321!
@LikesLimesexactly what I thought!
@LikesLimes I was thinking about that too and wondered if he wouldn't need to bake it longer to make it turn out...
I've done this with just the cake mix, no angel food.
I make dump cakes often, they are very good and cobbler like. I don't melt my butter though I just slice it and lay it on top
It was shockingly good
I was looking for this comment 😁 also cherry and pineapple is my go to ❤ like a pineapple upside down cake cobbler 😂😀
@kailamarie9415once of my favs. Apple pie filling is great too with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top
I grate frozen butter over the cake mix. Better coverage
@kailamarie9415cherry and pineapple filling but what flavor cake mix??
A dump cake tip: Pat the cake mix down gently with your hands to make better contact with the pie filling and create a flatter surface for the butter. And you can use the back of a spoon to gently spread the butter onto any dry patches.
You should try making a jello poke cake sometime! I grew up with those in the 90s as the main dessert for so many celebrations!
He did a couple of videos ago during the history of cakes vid. My mom used to make them. So good and nostalgic.😊
@burleson2976I've never had the courage to try them, but now I will, the jello poke cake. Thanks for this review!
My mans favoriteee
Jello poke cake is so tasty!!
The Jello “Stripe It Rich” cake (basically a poke cake using pudding instead of gelatin) will forever be my favorite cake!
I was really surprised that some people didn't know about some of these hacks but then I realized I've lived in Texas my whole life and some of these are very ingrained in southern culture. I don't think I've been to a holiday party or potluck that hasn't had cake mix crinkle cookies or some sort of dump cake cobbler situation
Honestly, as someone who's a Royal History Nerd. Hyper-realistic cakes would have blown minds in places like Versailles, Hnery VIII's court or 18th Century Russia. My boy Louis would 100% hire you for the parties, and his brother, Philippe, Doc d'Orleans, would have definitely try to...choose the word for yourself.
Love!this! As I'm sitting here watching Versailles!
B Dylan Hollis is an absolute delight! So glad to see him on your channel….sort of!
My 3-2-1 recipe is to make a combo of 1 box of cake mix and 1 box of angel food cake. Then the kids can do 3 Tablespoons of mix, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1 min in the microwave
Yep. Angel food cake mix is essential for any mug cake because it contains powdered egg. No other cake mix has the egg so their mug cakes always turn out lousy.
The soda cakes are supposed to be bubbly, they ended up flat because you knocked all the air out
But they are still disgusting. I tried it once too. Was awful.
OMG YES B DYLAN HOLLIS IN A JOHNNY VIDEO?? I thought my life was complete with the Trixie Mattel video yall did. I think I might die if you get Dylan to join you.
I'd love this collab! I hope they can make it happen 🙏🏼
I also really want this collab! But Jonny would need to adopt all of Dylan's important baking terminology.
Eggies!!!!
@furbysmith3240nilla!
@furbysmith3240nilla! Flood powder
CakeBox Cookies:

NOTE: You CAN add a little extra flour and shape up. Reduce time for softer.
The way i GAGGED when Johnny raw dogged the red velvet mix
You've got to do 7up cake. They sell them all over Missouri and they're so moist and delicious.
totally missed that one in this vid! would’ve been perfect.
manifesting the Dylan collab! 😤😤😤
hi jonnycakes, i lost my baby last year and your videos have been some of the only to put a smile on my face and make me feel a little normal and bring some bit of joy to my life. feeling very grateful for your silly vibe and your fun videos today
I’m so sorry for your loss. Hang in there
@patriciamcgarr3183thank you❤️🩹
The moment I saw the notification I was like ok now we stop whatever we're doing to watch this hahaa
That is so sweet
Maybe you can do a hidden veggie recipe hacks episode, after doing all the super sugary ones. :) A little balance in the form of some not too sweet hidden veggie recipes might be a nice change of pace. :) Hidden additional fiber can also help to prevent sugar crashes. 😁👍
1:27 Actually, when cake mixes became popular, people actually disliked that they didn't have ENOUGH to do with the actual "making" of the cake. Hence, recipes like dump cake became a thing because with the addition of ingredients not included in the box, people felt they were contributing more to a "real" homemade cake. Boxed cake mixes really became fully accepted once they introduced the at home consumers to the idea of eloborately decorating their box cake with frosting and toppings etc to put the idea that they didn't work hard enough on the cake itself to rest.
Yes I've heard this is also why they made cake mix and pancake mix with the need for added eggs and a fat because people didn't trust just adding water to a powder. As my mother once said while watching her new bread maker work "but where's the looooove!?"
One of those things that shows how fucking weird people are. If you don't like boxed cake because it doesn't feel homemade enough, just don't use it 😂 why go through the effort of buying a convenience product to then deconvenience it.
I baked soda cakes with my mom growing up- but we didn’t use just soda. We replaced the water that the box cake called for with the soda; we still used the eggs and butter or whatever else was in the recipe too. We did yellow cake and Sprite. I don’t know if it was actually good but I remember it being good 🤷🏽♀️
When I was homeless, soda bread (with actual soda) was such a lifesaver. I would go to the dollar store and get a liter of soda, a bag of self-rising flour, and a three pack of loaf pans and could make 6 loaves of bread for $3. We'd cook them on "stoves" made out of shopping carts and they were actually delicious. Dr. Pepper bread was my favorite, followed by Sprite.
If he had used 🥚 but used soda it would have come out great. To what he doesn't like to someone else is great.
My favorite combo is spice cake and birch beer
The fact that you don't own a can opener really makes me feel better about my progress in life
I recently moved and forgot my can opener at my last place lol
I don't have one. On this side of the world I haven't seen cans without an opening ring since... the end of the eighties maybe, beginning of the nineties. (I am in western Europe)
@____Ann____lol really? I think they literally use those tabs as an excuse to charge more over here.
@arttificcer2324 I also think that!!
best way to handle the butter for a dump cake is to THINLY slice it all and then place them evenly across the entire top of the cake...if you make it thin enough, you will pretty much cover the entire top of the pan, and it ALL bakes up without any issues.
You forgot the butter for the frosting hack 😊.
was about to mention the same thing
Husband's grandmother did all her cooking and baking from scratch except for her chocolate chip cookies where she used a box of yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup of butter for the batter. They were SO good and I had forgotten about them until this video. It's grocery day today so I know what I'm getting!
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who saw that 'frosting hack' and said, "but that's just MAKING FROSTING!"
Bro breathing in that Pam spray is gonna eff your lungs
I went through a pre-TikTok phase of making cake mix into cookie dough that were much more like the dump cake: a shortcut. It was usually either just add butter, or just add Cool Whip, mix to dough, form into cookie shape or pat into a pan, bake. They weren't cute or fancy, but they were cookies.
If you add 1/4C cornstarch to cake mix you will get Lofthouse cookies (or Cheryl’s cookies).
Meanwhile Johnny assumes everyone has a cocktail shaker. 12:39
The mug cake recipe I always use has applesauce in it to bind everything (6tbsp cake mix + 2tbsp applesauce + 1tbsp water and zap for I think a minute and 20 seconds). And it gives a nice fruit tang.
Johnny forgot the butter. 21:31
I was yelling at him, "Where's the butter?! She also put in butter!" 😂😂😂
So was I!
Hi Jonny. I'm agnostic. Love the channel and the messy, personal tea you spill while filming. 😄🍵
Glad you enjoy the tea! 🐸☕️
Fun fact! The heat of the oven will have cooked any of the raw cake mix in a dump cake since it stays in there a good while, so it's safe to eat even if it doesn't look like it!
You can do the same thing with flour by cooking it on the stovetop for a bit, so you have edible flour even if it looks raw.
Im not a person who ever comments under videos but your content brings me so much joy! You have created a page that feels so safe and that means a lot to so many. Yipeeee
I’m so glad you commented today. You made my day.
@thejonnycakesOmgl I can not believe u responded. This is amazing. Thank you!!!
Wish you would have done the carrot and ginger ale. I think ginger beer would be better. More of a spicey ginger flavor.
I know this isn't exactly that kind of video but the gluten free yellow box cake from Aldi is so good!!
Your very visercal response to the mug cake, after being so excited for the gooey centre, genuinely made me laugh out loud. What a rollercoaster!
I believe in G d and it's a sin that Garfinkle didn't make an appearance.
Your cookies turned out way nicer than the other person's.
Yes please do a collab with Dylan!!
He’s so fun!
Dude not understanding canning, having a can opener, and calling all home canners preppers just called my ass poor on so many levels XD
Yes you absolutely need to do a collab with Dylan!!!!!!!!
I have been making the tastiest, moist cake lately by adding a package of pudding mix, espresso instead of water, an extra egg, a half cup of sour cream, a teaspoon of vanilla and half oil, half butter. Then I frost with pudding mix, a cup of milk, brick of cream cheese and a tub of cool whip. Add powdered sugar if needed for consistency and a splash of vanilla if desired.. everyone raves about how delicious and moist it is.
Re: dump cake, I will now forever hear Matteo Lane's impression of Cathy Mitchell
💯
Me too. 😂
I have a hack! My aunt adds yellow cake mix to her corn bread and it makes it DELICIOUS
That lady’s dump cake commercials have always lived in my head rent free. Love her.
Cathy Mitchell. The patron saint of infomercial. 😂
“It taste like crumble cookies” wait until I tell you how crumble makes their cookies 😭 (it’s this exact recipe you can see the box cake mix in many locations)
Apparently my mom was cooking dump cakes for years, and i was today years old when i learned that monstrosity had a name. So thanks for doing that as the first one you made.
Who has icing bags and no can opener? 😳
My recipe for 3-2-1 mug cake. Mix 2 boxes of cake mix in a container. One MUST be angel food, the other is the flavor of your choice. Then use 3 Tbls of mix and 2 Tbls of water and microwave for 1 minute.
i’m allergic to eggs, so dump cakes are a staple at every birthday 😂
19:50 I grew up with mostly powdered milk (country with inconsistent electricity). It’s great for controlling how creamy you want your food.
So good in macaroni and cheese. We used it in cooking/baking as it was cheaper.
1:59 "the guy online" when that is Dylan, Liam's brother! How dare you! 😂😂😂😂😂
These videos are perfect after a shift at the hospital and every patient is complaining
When my mom makes dump cakes, instead of pouring melted butter on top, she cuts the cold butter into pads and places them evenly for better distribution. And the combos for dump cake are endless. My favorite is strawberry rhubarb filling with chocolate cake mix.
Omgosh rhubarb in a dump cake sounds soooo good 😍😍😍
An easy frosting hack for you....one tub of frosting Slightly melted and a 12oz bag of melted chocolate chips make amazing fudge. You can play around with the flavors of baking chips and frosting. It works every time and only takes minutes.
just had a moment where i was shocked Jonny didn't know BDylanHollis personally and i had to step back and think "now why would Jonny know this guy just because he's gay?" #accountable
Ope hahah I am ded
Gay,you see them both in the kitchen 95% of the time and they’re both kind of experimental (with the food) lol
i was shocked too but that’s because my youtubers usually all know each other or end up knowing each other 😭 example: simplynailogical, thread banger, and safiya nygaard all coming together
“Hey what are you eating!???” That was just the funniest thing. 😂 That’s exactly what I do with my Zoe (7.5 lb toy poodle)😂😂😂
We used to make dump cake in a cast iron skillet over the campfire every time we went camping. So much nostalgia.
I have made dump cakes. They aren't lookers, but they taste so good.
Ohhhh noooo 😂😅well I’m happy the cookies turned out
Total aside, or maybe hack of my own, I remember reading in college you could use soda water/7-up with lemon cake mix, so I did a bunch of weird experiments. Best of them pink crush cream soda + funfetti cake, it was pink, with sprinkles, and were always a hit at my GSA groups fundraisers.
I just got to the soda cakes, HAHAH
my favorite cake mix hack is replacing the water with milk (same amount as called for), replacing the oil with melted butter (same amount as called for) and adding an extra egg, works with most box mix instructions.
THE PEOPLE NEED MORE CORNBREAD CONTENT
I know we're not supposed to use all caps, but sometimes it's just called for 😆
I used to make sugar free cupcakes using sugar free yellow cake mix and a Diet Pepsi. They’re so soft and they have a little pop on the tongue from the carbonation.
i believe cookies were invented accidentally because a baker put small circles of cake batter in an oven as tester when making a cake and then like the results. so then making cookies from cake mix makes total sense.
For the dump cake I have a tip.... *pat the top of the cake mix/butter down with the flat part of a spatula.* It just incorporates the butter and the mix better. You won't get the spots of uncooked cake mix.
If you pour two cans of your pie filling into a crock-Pot and then mix your butter and powder together and pour over top and let it sit and cook Crock-Pot dump cake. I make it all the time and the endless ideas of the combo between the three is crazy
Is anybody else hollering at the screen when he's making the dump cake bc of the complaints abt a DUMP CAKE?!?!? Boy if you just don't DUMP IT!! 😂😂😂 love ya Jonny lmaoo
When I make a dump cake I usually don't melt the butter, instead I cut the sitcks into little squares and cover the top of the cake mix with the butter squares. I love to use Spice Cakes for most of my dump cakes too...
Powdered milk makes a really good waffle no flour
Johnny, the dump cake has been a Southern staple for as long as I can remember! Peach cobbler and pumpkin crunch are the best two!!
I gotta make them more often
