I have made lots of various dump cakes over the years so I went looking for a different twist. Came across this one that "even an idiot can make"......so I passed it along to one! Will let you know what happens.

    Very good! More of a cobbler than a cake though. Very gooey and sweet. Thanks!

    This is one of the first cakes I baked in Oman in my oven and everyone loved it. It even got published in a magazine with a photograph of the cake and me! Thanks for bringing back those wonderful memories and smiles!
