Dump Cake? What's That?

It hasn't been that many years since I asked my son-in-law that question. We had just wrapped up dinner at my daughter's place and my son-in-law announced that he would be making dessert for us.

When he said, "It's a peach dump cake" I said, "Huh? What's a dump cake?"

He was kind enough to explain, and to demonstrate. And when I saw how easy the process was, I knew we had a winner!

That was then. This is now. I've enjoyed so very many dump cakes over the years and always love adding them to this blog.
