Pumpkin Dump Cake
Description
This Pumpkin Dump Cake uses pumpkin puree blended with evaporated milk, ginger, cloves, sugar, eggs, and cinnamon to create a richly spiced, custard-like base poured into a greased 9x13 pan. On top, a dry yellow cake mix is sprinkled evenly and covered with chopped pecans and thin slices of butter that melt during baking, forming a sweet, crumbly crust.
Baking at 350°F for one hour allows the topping to brown and develop a crisp texture while the pumpkin mixture underneath sets into a moist filling. Serving it warm accentuates the comforting spices and contrasts the crisp topping with creamy filling. Whipped cream is a common accompaniment adding lightness.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for a few days and reheated in short microwave intervals. Variations include substituting the yellow cake mix with pumpkin spice cake mix or a homemade mix combining flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter for a personalized topping.
