Little did I know that dump cakes have been around for decades. Apparently, they were the trendy church potluck dessert in the 80s. My parents clearly took me to the wrong church growing up. We were a dump-cake free denomination...
But behold friends... I have crossed over. I am a dump-cake convert and today I have a treat for you. Pumpkin dump cake. It is to die for. I literally ate three pieces today. Oops.
This is recipe #1 of my easy-holiday-recipes-so-you-don't-have-to-spend-all-your-time-in-the-kitchen series. Ready, set, go {and you're already almost done}...
PUMPKIN DUMP CAKE
What you need:
1 can of pumpkin {15 oz.}
1 can of evaporated milk
1 c. of brown sugar {packed}
3 eggs
2 dashes cinnamon
2 dashes nutmeg
1 box white cake mix
1/2 cup {1 cube} butter
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees*
Step 1: Mix together one can pumpkin, one can evaporated milk, 1 cup brown sugar, 3 eggs, a dash or two of cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir until smooth.
Step 2: Pour into a greased 9x13 pan.
Step 3: Pour box of cake mix evenly on top of pumpkin mixture. Don't mix it in. {This is the dump part}.
Step 4: Add any extra toppings that you want. I used crushed graham crackers and chocolate chips. I've also heard walnuts or toffee are good. I HIGHLY recommend the chocolate chips though!
Step 5: Melt one cube of butter and pour evenly over the top of the cake.
Step 6: Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.
Pin It
Secret: This is one of those desserts that is even better the next day. I loved it at room temperature. Most of the time, I prefer all baked goods straight out of the oven. But this one only gets better after 24 hours. Three pieces, y'all. It's that good.
Do you think "pumpkin dump cake" is an appropriate title? I've also heard it called Pumpkin Cobbler, which is probably more classy, but I like to live life on the edge. I considered naming this post "Dump or Die" but I wanted people to actually read it...
P.S. The three pieces turned to four pieces between the drafting and publication of this post. Oops, again.

A friend of mine at work just brought in a similar cake and it was delicous, and I am usually not much of a cake fan.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
That looks so good. I think it is crazy that you don't mix it together?? I've never heard of it. But anything pumpkin I love, so I am sure I will love this.
What other combinations have you used?

I have another great recipe too, all it is is the pumpkin pie mix, a box of yellow cake mix and 2 sticks of butter.
Put the pie mix on the bottom dump the cake mix on top dry drizzle w/butter so its all covered and u can use walnuts, pecans what ever u like.. Bake in over at 350 until nice and golden brown.
