Pumpkin Dump Cake
It’s finally autumn, y’all!! Forgive me. I just couldn’t wait any longer! To be honest, I’m kinda over summer this year. Plus, I’ve been waiting to share this Pumpkin Dump Cake recipe with you for months!
I’ve been enjoying and sharing this recipe for well over twenty years now – and for good reason. Number one, this is the easiest fall dessert ever. And second, the combination of the pumpkin base will remind you of pumpkin pie, while the buttery pecan topping will remind you somewhat of a cobbler.
As I mentioned, this recipe is so easy – just like the name implies! Although this is perfect for Fall, you don’t have to wait that long! ? I sure don’t! Ha! My family loves this dessert all year long!
Lemme show you how to make it …

Pumpkin Dump Cake: FAQs
If you have any questions about this recipe or if you would like some suggestions before getting started, be sure to check out these tips:
Personally, I would refrigerate it. Because of the eggs and milk having high protein and moisture content, room temperature conditions are ripe for bacteria to multiply rapidly. This cake is good, tightly covered, for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Yes! Make sure it’s tight;y wrapped and freeze it for up to 2 months. When you are ready to eat it, allow it to that in the fridge overnight.
It’s best eaten within 3-5 days.
Sure! Try a different flavor of cake mix – white, chocolate, butter pecan, and spice cake – all make great flavors!
