a cake your kiddo can make

This is not nutritious in the least bit, but here is a recipe that is sure to make your kids totally proud of themselves for being a great chef.  It's the easiest cake in the world to make - fondly known as "dump cake" because basically all you do is dump in the ingredients.  And, I promise it actually comes out looking beautiful and tasting yummy! 

The youngsters will need help with the oven part, but they'll be proud to do the rest by themselves. Or, if you're headed to a pot luck and need something super easy - nothing beats 4 ingredients and no stirring.
