How to Make Pumpkin Dump Cake Step by Step
Mix the Wet Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Whisk a 29- or 30-ounce can of pumpkin puree, a 12-ounce can of evaporated milk, ¾ of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt together until smooth. Add the Eggs: Add in 3 large eggs and whisk until combined. Sprinkle the Cake Mix: Next, pour the pumpkin mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, then sprinkle 15.25 ounces (1 box) of cake mix over the pumpkin mixture. Then sprinkle 1 cup of chopped pecans over the cake mix. Drizzle the Butter: Drizzle ½ cup of unsalted melted butter evenly over the cake mix and pecans. Bake the Pumpkin Dump Cake: Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes. Check the cake at 30 minutes, and cover with foil if it’s beginning to brown. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
