Dump cake's best enjoyed fresh, but 2 hours is the limit at room temp! 
Creamy ingredients can spoil. Better safe than sorry!

Dump cakes are pretty chill (pun intended)! 
Generally, it's best to refrigerate them if they're not going to be eaten right away, especially if they have perishable ingredients like dairy or fruit. As a rule of thumb, leaving it out for more than 2 hours might not be the best move to keep it safe to eat. Better safe than sorry!

Leftover dump cake isn't safe at room temperature for very long because it contains dairy products and eggs, which can spoil quickly. According to the USDA, perishable foods left at room temperature for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if the temperature is above 90°F) can become unsafe to eat. So, refrigerate that dump cake after a fun feast!Ever left a delicious dump cake out a bit too long and wondered if it's still safe to enjoy?Share your experiences and tips!
Still ate it though, didn't get sick. Just make sure it's covered if it's gonna sit for a while.

A dump cake can safely chill out on the counter for up to 2 hours. After that, it should be refrigerated to prevent any potential bacterial growth and to keep it fresh and tasty. Always remember, health is wealth!
