Pumpkin Dump Cake

Pumpkin Dump Cake is a layered dessert starting with a spiced pumpkin mixture topped with a yellow cake mix and butter. The combination bakes into a moist, flavorful cake with a crisp, buttery top and tender interior. Optional pecans add texture and nuttiness, while warm spices like cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice provide autumnal warmth. This recipe offers a straightforward way to enjoy pumpkin flavors in a richly spiced cake.

Description

This Pumpkin Dump Cake layers a pumpkin and evaporated milk mixture seasoned with pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, sugar, and eggs in a greased pan. Instead of mixing a traditional cake batter, a dry yellow cake mix (often combined with extra pumpkin pie spice) is sprinkled over the pumpkin base, then covered with sliced cold butter pats. The cake bakes at 350°F for an hour, during which the butter melts and mingles with the cake mix, creating a moist, tender cake with a golden, buttery crust.

The optional chopped pecans contribute a crunchy contrast to the soft texture. This dessert can be enjoyed warm or cold and pairs well with ice cream or whipped cream. It provides an easy approach to pumpkin cake without extensive mixing or preparation.
