The origins of the dump cake are somewhat unclear. It has been suggested that the name originated with a recipe published by Duncan Hines in 1980, though the name is attested in a number of American community cookbooks and periodicals from the 1970s and 60s.

Those cakes predate cake mixes, a necessity for contemporary dump cake recipes. Given that, it makes sense that there was a surge in dump cake recipes in hometown newspapers and community cookbooks in the 1960s and 70s, a decade or so after national brand cake mixes hit our grocery store shelves in the early 1950s.

The carbon dioxide from the baking powder or baking soda will expand the cake. Gluten holds those bubbles in place (think of a balloon that contains air) while the fat from the oil or butter lubricates the process. “When it bakes, the whole protein network hardens and holds the bubbles in cakes,” Vodovotz said.

The goal of each episode is for the bakers to fool three rotating celebrity judges. The judges get 20 seconds to observe each cake among decoy objects. If they correctly pick the baker's cake from the mix, the baker is eliminated from that round.
