What Is a Dump Cake?
A dump cake is an easy to bake dessert where all the ingredients are literally dumped together into the baking pan. No mixing bowl, or dishes to wash here! So simple, yet so delicious! If you've never created a dump cake before, you're missing out!
Storage
In my opinion, I always think it's a good idea to refrigerate. Make sure that the dump cake is completely cooled down before you add it to a container to place into the fridge. If there is any heat in the container, it will form condensation (moisture) which can make your cake soggy.
