Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Sugars and Spices
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp cloves
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure your cake doesn’t stick.
- Mix Pumpkin Base. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Pumpkin Mixture. Pour the smooth pumpkin mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Add Cake Mix. Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the pumpkin mixture, covering it completely.
- Top with Oats and Pecans. Sprinkle the rolled oats evenly over the cake mix, followed by the chopped pecans if you are using them to add a crunchy texture.
- Drizzle Butter. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the oats and pecans to help create a rich, golden crust.
- Bake. Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, indicating it’s fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve. Allow the dump cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature for a comforting dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
- For extra sweetness, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling for the best flavor.
