Pumpkin Dump Cake Recipe
I’m not sure it gets much easier than a dump cake. Basically throw all the ingredients into a baking dish, bake and then serve! It takes no longer than 5 minutes to prepare this pumpkin dump cake!
Serve with whipped cream or cool whip on top for a real Fall treat! If you’re looking to make it real special, you can even make your own homemade pumpkin puree, but don’t worry, a store bought can works great too!
What is a Dump Cake?
A dump cake is prepared by “dumping” ingredients into a baking dish. There is little stirring involved, making it a quick and easy cake. Cake mix is always added last to give it a cake topping.
How to Make a Dump Cake
Spray a 13×9 baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mix together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt together in a mixing bowl. Add to baking dish.
Mix together cake mix, walnuts and melted butter until a crumbly mixture forms. Sprinkle this on top of the pumpkin puree mixture in the baking dish.
Bake and serve. SO EASY, right?!
Recipe Help
Can I use another type of cake mix? Sure, use vanilla or spice cake mix instead of yellow.
What should I top it with? Eat as is, or add whipped cream, cool whip, raspberry jam or blueberries on top.
Can I add chocolate chips? Yes, you can add chocolate chips to anything – hah. I prefer the chocolate chips to be added to the top cake mix layer. You can also add them on top after the cake is baked.
How should I store it? Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
How long does dump cake last? It will last 5 days in the refrigerator.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
