Apple Dump Cake

Last week we had a thanksgiving potluck for the department at work and I waffled for a few minutes about what to make, in many science departments this is a more of a cultural experiment. People bring food items that represent their home country. As I am an American, I never really know what to make in some years I have brought jambalaya or some other southern dish. This year with the move and all of the chaos in my life I realized that I would need to make something quick and easy. On pinterest I have seen several different posts for a dump cake: mix together angle food cake and a can of any pie filling. I am not going to lie this sounds easy enough.

Apple Pie Dump Cake


Box of Angle Food Cake
Can of Apple Pie Filling

Directions
-Mix together, until the mixture looks like cake batter
I wasn't sure this was ever going to happen
-Pour into a bunt cake pan
-Follow the directions on the box, I cooked mine for about 40 minutes at 375 (I think)

The baked cake

I sliced my cake and served it without icing. I think it would be pretty good with a little whipped cream on the side or maybe a sprinkle of powdered sugar. I will admit this is not my favorite dish I have ever made but I will admit that it was somewhat fool proof, it did make a cake. I don't know that I loved the taste of the filling so my opinion of the cake is slightly skewed.


I think the cake was a hit at the potluck at least I think that most people ate the cake. Oh well I loved that this was an easy cake to make and pretty good. I have heard that this is also pretty good with blueberry pie filling.
