Texas Sheet Cake Bites – Dump Cake Recipes You’ll Love
Dump cake recipes don’t always come in a big ol’ casserole dish. Sometimes, they show up in a mini muffin pan, ready to surprise you with rich chocolatey magic in a single bite. These Texas Sheet Cake Bites take everything we love about a full-sized sheet cake—fluffy texture, velvety frosting, and that hint of southern charm—and shrink it down into bite-sized happiness.
We start with a Cake Mix Dump Cake shortcut (thank you, pantry!), but the flavor hits like a homemade classic. The cake stays soft thanks to sour cream, while the Chocolate Dump Cake-style glaze soaks into the warm bites to lock in sweetness. Whether you’re thinking Peach Dump Cake Easy for summer, Cherry Dump Cake Recipe for the holidays, or dreaming up Cake Smash Cake Ideas for a birthday, this twist fits right in.
Personally, I love these as a backup dessert when time’s tight but guests expect fireworks. These little bites deliver every time.
Servings: 24 bites
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a mini muffin pan.
- In a bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, sour cream, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool slightly in the pan.
- While the bites bake, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cocoa and milk, stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat, then whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until glossy.
- Drizzle the warm glaze over the slightly cooled cake bites or dip the tops directly into the glaze.
- Let the glaze set before serving, or don't—it’s your kitchen.
