I was watching the QVC microwave cooking show and one of the dishes the chef prepared was a dump cake?. It was more of a cobbler, but looked very good. What is a dump cake? Are they good?

I haven't made one, but I have copied several recipes from eople on the Recipe board. Here's one of them. I can't remember the person's name that posted it, though..

APPLE DUMP CAKE

Layer your apple slices (or other fruit) at the bottom of a pan that has been coated with non-stick spray.

Sprinkle on boxed cake mix.

Melt an entire stick of butter.

Pour butter over the fruit and dry cake mix.

Bake at 350* for approximately 35-45 minutes -- it's done when it is nice and bubbly.

I've seen the infomercial for Dump Cake cookbooks. The idea is you just dump all the ingredients into a pan and cook it. No muss, no fuss.

They are the best. Usually they start with fruit on bottom, then are topped with dry cake mix, and some melted butter is poured on top before baking.

LIVED on Dump Cake in college. Too much sugar, butter, salt, artificial flavorings- DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS for all your replies. It sounds very easy. So, there's no stirring? ...just dump it all together.

OK, I just looked online and I see it's EVERYWHERE. There are commercials on youtube tons of other citations. I guess I missed the trend. lol
