Use your egg slicer to cut the butter/margarine stick into slices and distribute evenly over the top of the cake before baking. Most places 1 stick = 1/2 C If you use soft spread, dot it on evenly. You may need to adjust the amount, as the whipped/soft spreads frequently contain more air or water - READ the label!

You need to cut butter and place on top instead of melt butter, and use two cans of pie filling cause their is not enough moisture and you will end up with a powdery cake at the end of baking

Not a good ideal to melt butter and drizzle on cake, should cut into pieces to put on top of cake and should use 2 cans of pie filling , 1 is not enough moisture to make cake or you will end up with cake mix that is still powdery after baking

Definitely needs more butter than the recipe calls for! I used 1/2 stick...like a Big Dummy, I made it BEFORE I read the comments!! lol It should definitely say 1 stick or 1/4 POUND!!! Oh well, live & learn!! I will make again...with the changes!

Needs about a stick of butter which can be cut in small pieces or almost melted. We make dump cakes all the time for ourselves and guests. Always get compliments on them.

I've been making this for years. I actually use about a stick of butter. I melt it first then pour it over the dry cake mix and bake it until it's golden brown. Easy and works every time. I haven't met anyone that doesn't love it. I use yellow cake mix and apple pie filling.

I made this cake yesterday using one whole stick, 1/4 lb of butter, or 8 tablespoons, however you want to measure it. That turned out fine.

I made this cake yesterday. It should have had a lot more butter than 1/4 stick. I used 1/3 stick and the entire top of the cake was still powdery! Not good!

I'm not sure of the butter amount; 1/4 stick, 8 tablespoons, or 1/4 of a stick, 2 tablespoons. Help!

This is delicious sprinkles with chopped nuts of your choice or almond slivers. I've had this recipe for over 20 years and have made many variations - all delicious

All the other dump cakes take a lot more butter...do you think this (1/4 stick) is correct? It would cut a lot of calories!

I don't know how or IF you ever got an answer to your question about the amount of butter, did you??? I would love to make this tomorrow for friends who are coming for dinner, but I don't have enough to practice on it.
