10 Dreamy Dump Cake Recipes
What is a "Dump Cake"? By definition, it's a cake made by laying fruit, or a filling into a pan and then "dumping" cake mix over the top of it; or, a simple cake requiring only a single bowl for baking.
If you've never made a dump cake before, then you're in for a super surprise, 'cause it's just about the easiest dessert you can make. You don't need any master baking skills to make a cake like this because it's basically a cake that's made by "dumping" your ingredients into a baking dish. Most dump cakes are even made using some shortcut ingredients, like pie filling and cake mix, which makes them even easier to whip up.
If you love how easy these recipes are, and how the yummy results taste, then you're going to love our collection of dump cake recipes below.

I don't have a lot of time to bake a cake from scratch most days, so I really love these dump cakes. I've also had the pumpkin dump cake and I love it! Next, I'll have to try the peaches and cream one.

Found it difficult to get the recipe shown at noon. The raspberry dump cake. I kept getting a recipe for hot dog sauce, but that was not what was on TV.
