Afternoon delight Mango island cake

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Apr 6, 2015 · Modified: Oct 21, 2021

Mango Island Dump Cake

Gonna find my fork, gonna hold it tight, gonna grab some afternoon delight, My motto’s always been; when it’s right, it’s right, Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night to eat .. Mango island dessert cake?! There’s no waiting.

Not sure why that song popped in my head while making this yummy dessert.

This is what I call a throwback retro recipe. Although, dump cakes were first noted in the ’80s. That was my teen era and a good one at that. It was dear Duncan Hines who first created the dump cakes.

How to make and island delight dump cake

Here’s another quick dump cake recipe for you.  I made this to take along to a friend’s house for our  Easter dinner gathering.  It’s so nice to have such great friends to share the holidays with.   It was such a lovely day and a food fest like no other.  I literally came home, put my sweats on, and went to bed.  I think it was 8:30 when I hit the sack.  I was in a food coma.

Just one of the things on our Easter menu was this Dr. Pepper demi glazed ham.

Oh my!

hamEverything was delicious.

mango island delight cakeI used fresh mangoes for my Island delight dump cake.  I assume frozen mangoes would be fine as well. You can use orange soda in this dessert or 7 Up/lemon-lime.  Truthfully, next time I will try the lemon-lime.  The orange soda was good, but definitely on the sweeter side.

 Mangoes are getting to be in season here and they sure were delicious.

    Debbie, I just love dump style cakes. My mom first introduced me to them years ago but we always used canned fruit. This one sounds delicious and I love the idea of using fresh fruit (or frozen) instead. I am 52 (almost) years old and do you know I have never ate mango? I think I’m missing out!

    I love me some mangos! Seriously mangos are one of my faves, but I have never used it in a dump cake. Really like this and your Easter ham looks tasty too. I’m sniffling today too, allergies are on today.
