Imagine making a delicious, praise-worthy cake wihtout measuring, mixing, or even breaking an egg.

It bakes up magically in the oven into something like a cobbler. You can mix and match at home, or use the handy recipes tried and tested here, including: Pineapple-Coconut Dump Cake • Salted Caramel Dump Cake • Peach-Raspberry Dump Cake • Cherry Chocolate Chip Dump Cake. Here at last is the perfect answer to last-minute potluck dinners, bake sales, school events, and even holiday parties.
