Pumpkin Praline Butter Dump Cake
Description
Pumpkin Praline Butter Dump Cake begins with a mixture of pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, and warm spices like pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon, which forms the moist and flavorful base. This mixture is poured into a 9 x 13 pan before layering with yellow cake mix, melted butter, and chopped pecans on top.
During baking, the butter works with the cake mix and pecans to create a praline-like crust with a golden brown color and slight crunch, contrasting the soft pumpkin layer beneath. This combination results in a rich, textured dessert that showcases traditional pumpkin pie flavors with added crunch.
To serve, topping it with homemade whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream brings a creamy, cool element that balances the warm spices and textures. This dessert suits fall and holiday menus, offering both comforting moisture and praline crunch in one pan.
