Taking a dump cake (to work, that is)
Feb. 14th, 2008 12:15 pmLast night I made a family recipe for a dessert that is delicious out of all proportion to how easy it is to make. It's called a "dump cake" because all you do is "dump" a bunch of ingredients into a cake pan and bake it. My Dad got it from a family friend named Glad Peters, and used to make it for square dance and church potlucks, and a while back I asked him to send me the recipe.
Work was holding a Valentine's Day dessert contest, with three $25 gift cards as prizes in the categories of most delicious, most appealing, and most healthful. So I figured what the heck, it's worth a shot.
As it turned out, there were only five entrants, and I won "most delicious." Most appealing went to someone's Oreo truffles (a decision with which I heartily agreed, they were neat-looking and good-tasting), and "most healthful" went to someone's custard pie (I'm not sure how a custard pie can be considered "more healthful" than a dessert containing cherry and pineapple, but I expect they didn't want to give more than one prize to any one dish).
( Here's the recipe. )
If anyone makes this for gatherings of your own, or even just family dessert, I'd love to know how well it goes over.
Happy Day-Before-Cheap-Candy-Day, everyone!
