Question: what is the difference between a dump cake and a cobbler?
Answer: Dump cakes are often confused with cobblers since it's a baked fruit dessert topped with a crust. To make a dump cake, one or two fruits (fresh, frozen, or canned) are placed in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Dry cake mix is sprinkled over the fruit layer, and melted butter is drizzled on top.
