Lemon-Blueberry Dump Cake
We are ecstatic and are thrilled to announce our newest cookbook, Delicious Dump Cakes.Delicious Dump Cake Cover

What is a dump cake? It is a scrumptious cake that is super easy to make. For most of the cakes, just layer basic ingredients in a 9 x 13-inch pan. Ingredients you probably already have in your pantry–like cake mix, a pudding mix, milk, butter, ice cream topping, pecans, chocolate chips or fruits (fresh, frozen or canned)—layered right in the pan. No mess. No stress.

Just layer the ingredients in the pan, pop it into the oven and enjoy a luscious dessert.

The most you will ever do is stir together a cake mix, pudding mix and milk—but again, no difficult or time consuming steps. You will be out of the kitchen in less than 15 minutes.

Thanks to everyone at St. Martin’s Press for designing such a cute book! And thanks to Staci Valentine for taking such delicious pictures. [Read more…]
