Pumpkin Dump Cake
This Pumpkin Dump Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert perfect for fall gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 30 ounces pumpkin puree
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 serving whipped cream for serving
- 1 serving vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly. This will help ensure that your cake doesn’t stick.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined. This filling will be the heart of your cake, so make sure it’s smooth and creamy.
- Carefully pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture. If you want to enhance the flavor, feel free to sprinkle a bit more pumpkin pie spice on top of the cake mix.
- Next, melt the butter and pour it evenly over the cake mix. Alternatively, you can slice the butter thinly and distribute it over the cake mix for a more rustic look.
- Spread the chopped walnuts or pecans evenly over the top of the cake. This adds a delightful crunch and complements the softness of the pumpkin filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to ensure it doesn’t over-bake.
- Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes. Serve the pumpkin dump cake warm with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for an extra touch of flavor!
Notes
For a variation, you can try using different nuts like pecans or almonds for added crunch. No alcoholic drinks allowed, please substitute with a non-alcoholic option.
