Make this simple fall dessert that tastes like pumpkin pie and cobbler combined. This dump and bake recipe uses cake mix for a moist, buttery result with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until fully combined.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin layer. Do not stir.
  5. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the cake mix layer.
  6. Slowly drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the cake mix.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Let the dump cake cool slightly before serving warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For a creamier layer, you can substitute one package of cream cheese (softened and cubed) over the pumpkin layer before adding the dry cake mix.
  • If you do not have pumpkin pie spice, mix 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of ground cloves.
  • This recipe is excellent for potlucks and Thanksgiving gatherings because it requires almost no hands-on time.
