Okay, so imagine if pecan pie and cake had a baby, but without all the fuss of making an actual pie crust or doing any real baking work. That's this dump cake! It's literally called "dump" because you dump everything in layers and let the oven do the magic. The bottom turns into this gooey, caramelly pecan pie filling while the top gets all cakey and crispy. It's basically what would happen if pecan pie decided to be more awesome and less work. My aunt brought this to Thanksgiving three years ago, and now my family physically blocks the door if I try to show up without it.
