About

Honestly, could this 3-Ingredient Dump Cake get any easier? If you feel like really going crazy, you can add a fourth "ingredient" and top this dessert with some creamy ice cream. It's a great complement to the jammy pie filling base and the golden, buttery cake topping! But with or without ice cream, this 3-Ingredient Dump Cake is warm and inviting and, yes, absolutely simple to make! Yum!
