Delicious and Easy Pumpkin Dump Cake Recipe

This is right before it went in the oven
This dessert is simple, cozy, and always a hit in the fall (or really, any time of year). It’s one of those “mix, dump, and bake” recipes that turns out delicious even if you aren’t a step-by-step recipe follower.

Ingredients:

  • 1 box yellow or spice cake mix

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree

  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 cup sugar (white or brown)

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 ½ cups chopped pecans or almonds

  • 1–2 sticks butter, melted

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.

  3. Pour this creamy mixture into a greased 9×13 pan.

  4. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top.

  5. Drizzle melted butter across the cake mix (make sure to get it into the corners!).

  6. Top with chopped nuts.

  7. Bake 50–55 minutes, until the center is set and the edges are golden.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Pro tip: This recipe is forgiving, I once forgot the sugar completely and, thankfully, my dad (who is diabetic) still got to enjoy it. Everyone else just added ice cream on top. Problem solved!
