Pumpkin Dump Cake

Jump to Recipe

Pumpkin Dump Cake might be one of the easiest and most delicious desserts you’ll make this fall. All you need are a few minutes and a few ingredients to make this tasty treat.

Fall is almost in the air in Phoenix (it takes a while) and I’m ready for all the delicious recipes it brings. This recipe gives you the flavor of pumpkin pie in a quick and easy dump cake.

If you’ve never made a dump cake, they are as easy as it comes. I’ve previously shared a Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake, Blueberry Dump Cake and Peach Dump Cake. Now it time for pumpkin to join the crowd. While dump cakes do not provide the traditional cake consistency, I’d describe this one as a bit like a pumpkin pie with a crumb topping.

How To Make Pumpkin Dump Cake

Ingredients

As you can see from the image above, the ingredients are simple and straight forward.  You’ll start with a cake mix. While a spice cake mix or pumpkin cake mix is ideal, I’ve found yellow cake mix works out just fine. If using a yellow cake mix, you’ll simply need to mix your dry cake mix with some pumpkin pie spice prior to sprinkling it on your cake. 

How To

Making this recipe is a snap. Milk, spices, sugar and eggs are all combined in one bowl. That mixture is poured into a 13×9 inch baking pan, then your cake mix is sprinkled over the top. If you are using pecans, those get sprinkled on as well. Then your butter is cut into very thin slices and are placed all over the cake, covering the entire cake. Then into the oven it goes, that’s it!

As I mentioned earlier, this Pumpkin Dump Cake does not have the consistency of a typical cake. I’m almost inclined to call it more of a dessert or even a pan pie, but I’m not sure that’s a thing. The base layer will be very much like pumpkin pie, and the top layer will be a buttery almost crumb like topping. You can serve it warm or cold, with or without ice cream or whipped cream.
