Pumpkin Dump Cake
Description
This dessert begins by mixing canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, evaporated milk, eggs, and sugar. The mixture is poured into a greased baking dish. The dry yellow cake mix is evenly layered over the pumpkin base, then melted butter is drizzled over the top followed by chopped walnuts. Baking for about an hour allows the dry cake mix to hydrate and form a cakey layer above the moist pumpkin beneath.
The nuts provide texture contrast, complementing the soft, spiced cake. Serving suggestions include dollops of Cool Whip or vanilla ice cream, which melt over the warm cake and add creaminess.
Notes emphasize important details including using pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling, alternatives to walnuts like pecans, and adding spices or toppings such as caramel sauce or whipped cream for variation.
Ingredients
- 15 oz pumpkin puree canned
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 3 egg
- 1 c. white sugar
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix package
- 3/4 c. butter melted
- 1 1/2 c. walnuts chopped

Notes
