    Why is it called a "dump" cake?

    It’s called a dump cake because all ingredients are dumped into a Cast iron Dutch oven, cake pan or slow cooker. This makes a fantastic camp dessert because of the minimal meal prep that may be required for other recipes.

    Is a "dump" cake the same as a cobbler?

    Dump cakes are different in that they usually are made with a cake mix and a can of soda. Cobblers usually are covered with a crusty topping and a fruit filling.
