Easy As A Dump Cake, but Better
You've heard of those dump cakes, where you combine cake mix with canned fruits, stir and bake. This one is just as easy, but it is made with real ingredients. It is moist and sooo yummy, it needs no adornment of frosting. If you feel you must dress it up a bit, a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of confectioners' sugar will do the trick.
