What is a dump cake?

A dump cake is one of the simplest desserts you can make. They’re usually made with a base of canned pie filling, a layer of dry cake mix, and pads of butter on top. There is no stirring involved with dump cakes, and true to their name, you just dump the ingredients into the pan and that’s it!
