💬 Uncle Dave says...
At first I thought this was a 1960s version of a dump cake.
But I am not sure. For one thing, this one puts the cake part down first, and then the fruit part.
And this doesn't make clear if you are supposed to make up the cake batter and then dump it into the pan, or if you are to put it in dry like a dump cake.
