COME IN, I’LL THROW SOMETHING TOGETHER
When you’re working on an idea that you’re not ready to share with everyone, does it put up walls preventing other creativity? Maybe that’s just me. So sorry I’ve been absent and thank you for still being here! To make it up to you, I made you a cake!
I’ve been praying for a potluck to bake this for, but promptly forgot to when I received an invite! Fortunately, someone else shared my wavelength and brought this yummy cake! It’s super appropriate this week paired with loads of laundry and wall-to-wall paperwork from two school desks covering my floor. This dessert is called DUMP CAKE! I’ll give you the easy steps while explaining what makes it the best!
I first heard about Dump Cake from a friend that I’d lost touch with 16 years ago! Every time I saw her style car, I longed for her personalized penguin plates. Facebook successfully reunited us and while we occupy opposite ends of the country, we can still share recipes!
The first recipe she shared with me was healthy veggie soup over a cup of pasta for lunch! This would go really well with Dump Cake because it is far from healthy.
I first tasted this cake from a new friend found this Spring! What made this year’s baseball and softball season’s awesome were the amount that my kids’ ability and love for the game flourished and the amazing families!
This crew was so much fun we had several get-togethers! The most recent found us at the beach complete with an epic water balloon fight – remember, the coaches taught these kids to throw hard and accurately!
When researching Dump Cake recipes, I chuckled and thought “Well, if that don’t take the rag off the bush!” it’s The Pioneer Woman’s recipe!
I love this woman! She traded in corporate success for cowboys! I’m so excited to finally try one of her recipes.
When I’m wandering and find common threads along the way, it’s heartwarming on so many levels. The synergy of celebrating the old and new, baking a recipe from a creative cowgirl – with my daughter – lassoed it all up with a pretty little bow!
Greatest gift ever! Enjoy!
Too funny… Back in 1989 we used to always make it….it was always a potluck dessert and we would all fight to sign up so one of us could be the one to bring it. It got to the point of having to take turns. So easy to make! Just dump it one by one and bake it!
My new favorite!! I have a ton of fruit combos to try! Thanks for wandering by!
Just like Girl Scouting with my oldest daughter all over again…camping, box ovens (I was a pro at those) badges, etc. She’s now expecting her first daughter. Maybe the fun can start all over again! Thanks for the memories 🙂
So fun! Thanks for sharing your sweet memories!! I keep trying to get my daughter to be a Girl Scout but she wants to do the things her Boy Scout brother does… I am now considering being a co-leader just to get her to join. Thanks for wandering by!

Oh yes, I remember seeing this recipe ages ago, but never tried it. I love dishes like this that are quick and easy but make you feel like you’ve done something homemade! Something the kids can easily do as well. Might be fun to do in little individual pots as well, as an alternative to a big dish.
I definitely love to consume dump cakes since it is sweet and also quick to create. My mother used to make dump cakes for me personally and my sis. All you need are some ingredients that may be easily ordered at the shopping store.
Wow, I didn’t think it was possible to make Dump Cake any easier but ordering online from stores just did it! Great idea! Thanks for wandering by!
