Ingredients
- 2 (15 ounce) cans pumpkin puree (about 3 ½ cups total)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans
- ¾ cup Butter, sliced into very thin squares
- Optional, for serving: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream; caramel sauce; dash of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, salt, and cloves until completely combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle dry cake mix and pecans over top. Add thinly-sliced butter to cover the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pumpkin filling is set and the topping is golden brown.

Notes
- Substitutions for yellow cake mix: if you don't have a box of yellow cake mix, try using white cake mix or spice cake mix.
- Use whole milk, half-and-half or heavy cream. I do not recommend substituting with a fat-free or low-fat milk, because the fat in the dairy helps to make the rich pumpkin custard.
- Pecans are optional. You can omit the nuts altogether, decrease to just ¼ cup (I often do this to appease my kids!), or use different nuts such as walnuts or almonds.
- Cool to slice. You can serve the dump cake warm, straight from the oven; however, I find that it's easiest to slice the cake into neat squares if you allow the cake to cool for at least 1 hour.
- Add a creamy topping. Don't forget the whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top! It's the perfect finishing touch. Try a drizzle of caramel sauce, too.
