Pumpkin Dump Cake
Report
This easy dessert is like two delicious dessert flavors in one - creamy pumpkin pie paired with rich yellow cake. It's a delicious duo, made with shortcut ingredients, and it's very reminiscent of a rustic cobbler.

Ingredients
- 1 (29 oz) can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 1/2 cups half and half*
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice**
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 (13 to 15 oz) pkg. Yellow Cake Mix, such as Betty Crocker
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, cold, diced into thin 1/2 Tbsp pieces
- 3/4 cup pecan chips, or chopped pecans
- Sweetened whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or salted caramel sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together pumpkin, half and half, eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spices and salt. Whisk several minutes until well combined.
- Pour pumpkin mixture into prepared baking dish then wiggle pan to level the mixture out even.
- Gently rub the cake mix package to break up any clumps then cut one corner from the package and gently pour mixture evenly over pumpkin mixture layer in pan.
- Using your hand gently spread the top surface of cake mix out even (being careful not to submerge it into the pumpkin mixture).
- Evenly sprinkle pecan pieces over cake mix layer then evenly dot with butter pieces.
- Bake in oven until pumpkin filling is nearly set, the cake should just wiggle slightly, about 50 to 60 minutes.
- Transfer to wire rack to cool. You can serve warm (which is messier but delicious), or cool for 1 hour before cutting into cleaner slices. These can also be served cold from the fridge.
- If desired served with sweetened whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or salted caramel sauce on top.
Notes
- *You can also use 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream in place of half and half.
- **You can make your own pumpkin pie spice blend by mixing 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp cloves or allspice.
- Nutrition estimate does not include toppings to serve over cake.
