This Easy Pumpkin Dump Cake with Butter Pecan Topping is a quick and delicious fall dessert that comes together in just 10 minutes of active prep time. With a tender pumpkin layer and a crunchy, buttery pecan topping, it’s perfect for weeknights or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the dry cake mix with the chopped pecans and brown sugar until combined.
  5. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pumpkin layer.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the topping in a zigzag pattern. Do not stir.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown and the edges are bubbling. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil after 30 minutes.
  8. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. The pumpkin layer will set as it cools.

Notes

Room temperature eggs are important for a smooth mixture. Don’t overmix the pumpkin layer. For best results, drizzle melted butter evenly over the topping. Let the cake cool completely before storing to keep the topping crunchy. To re-crisp the topping, reheat slices in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
