Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
1 box (15.25 oz) spice cake mix
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
3 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp pumpkin-pie spice
1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter
½ cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
Assemble the Dump Cake Layers: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the spice cake mix evenly over the pumpkin layer—do not stir. Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix and top with pecans (optional).
Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a more crumbly topping, use cold butter.
You can reduce the evaporated milk for a firmer texture.
For a nut-free version, replace pecans with chocolate chips or skip them entirely.
To make it dairy-free, use coconut oil and a dairy-free cake mix.
