Dump Cake Recipe

When we hear 'dump cake', it may not sound very appealing. Hence, I am sure you would want to know from where the name originates. It gets its name from the recipe, as all the ingredients are dumped into a baking pan and then baked. The overall presentation is not like a cake and in fact, looks cobbled. Hence, it cannot be categorized under fancy baking. Children can also bake it as there is no mixing involved.
