Easy Lemon Dump Cake Recipe
I love dessert. I love dessert, even more, when I can make it fast and easy. If it is a lemon dessert, and forget, I am eating the whole thing. I remember growing up, my great-grandmother always made lemon meringue. It was her favorite, and it has been one of mine for as long as I can remember. My mom’s too.
The only thing is, I really hate making lemon meringue pie. When I worked at the bakery, I made the fruit pies, and on Saturdays, I made the lemon meringue pie for all the local restaurants. That is a lot of pies. So while I still love lemon meringue pies, I tend to stick to easy lemon dessert recipes now. This lemon dump cake is my number one easy lemon dessert recipe.
What is a Dump Cake
Dump cake is easy to make. The reason it is called a dump cake is because all you have to do is dump the ingredients in the pan. There are many ways to make dump cake, and it can be made with just about any filling. I love making this apple cobbler, which is really just a dump cake that tastes like a simple apple cobbler.
