Description

This Easy Pumpkin Pie Dump Cake Delight is a simple, no-fuss dessert that combines the rich flavors of pumpkin pie with the comforting texture of a spice cake. Made by layering a smooth pumpkin mixture with spiced cake crumbs and baked until golden, it’s an ideal treat for fall or holiday gatherings. Chilled to perfection and served with whipped cream, this dessert requires minimal prep and delivers maximum taste.

Ingredients

Pumpkin Mixture

  • 29 oz can pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 12 oz evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Cake Topping

  • 1 (18.25 oz) package spice cake mix
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)

Optional

  • Whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with baking spray and set it aside to prepare for layering.
  2. Mix Pumpkin Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Layer Pumpkin: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly across the bottom to form the base layer.
  4. Prepare Cake Topping: In a separate bowl, pour the melted butter over the dry spice cake mix. Use a fork to toss them together until small clumps form, resembling coarse crumbs in texture.
  5. Add Cake Layer: Evenly sprinkle the buttered cake mix crumbs over the pumpkin mixture in the baking dish, making sure to cover the surface completely.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and the center is mostly set, indicating it is cooked through.
  7. Chill: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to come to room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set flavors and texture.
  8. Serve: Slice the chilled cake and serve cold, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream if desired for added richness and creaminess.

Notes

  • For best results, chill the cake overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
  • You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if preferred.
  • Make sure to melt the butter before mixing it with the dry cake mix to achieve the proper crumbly topping texture.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead, which makes it perfect for holiday entertaining or potlucks.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delicious finishing touch.
