Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the perfect temperature for baking the dump cake.

- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to let it set and make it easier to slice and enjoy.
