Remember the days of the set it and forget it infomercial? These dump cakes have the same exact idea, and isn't that beautiful?

These are the best slow cooker dump cakes to get you started. And absolutely none of them require you to keep track of how many times you've stirred anything. Let's get cooking!

What Is a Dump Cake?

Not unlike a cobbler or crisp, the dump cake requires no mixing. You're also going to use a cake mix, store-bought, to give you that crunchy, sweet crust instead of oats or pie dough.

It's a simple one-two-three recipe with no stirring, no mixers, and the only thing you're scooping might be some ice cream. Spend the day browsing slow cooker dump cakes on TikTok, and your stomach will be rumbling before long.
