Dump cake
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. The dump cake "Can't Get Simpler Than This" is a dessert whose name speaks for itself. The cake consists of three layers: a soft, fluffy base, a sweet-and-tart middle, and a crunchy top. Today I'll share the recipe for this delicious, aromatic cake. For the filling, you can use any fruits or berries—juicier the filling, the more starch you'll need to thicken it. Otherwise, the baked cake will turn out too wet and become a soggy mess. The crumbly streusel topping gives the cake its delightful crunch. Enjoy! The baking is done. Serve it at the table.
