Pumpkin Dump Cake

This Pumpkin Dump Cake starts out with a boxed cake mix along with a few other simple ingredients. It takes minutes to prepare and after baking turns into a scrumptious dessert.

Let’s Go Outside of the (Cake) Box

I love to go “outside the box” with cake mixes. I’ve made quite a few desserts that start with a cake mix like Lemon Bars, Chocolate Banana Snack Cake and Chocolate Cherry Cobbler that end up tasting nothing like a cake from a box….or even a cake at all. All of these recipes take just a few simple ingredients and take almost no effort to make.

Pumpkin Dump Cake

This Pumpkin Dump Cake is no exception. You mix a couple of things together and literally dump it into a cake pan, pop it in the oven and out comes a wonderfully delicious fall dessert.

I found this recipe when I was out on Pinterest. The Country Cook made a version of this and it looked so delicious, I just had to try it. Make sure you pop over to her page and check out her version.

Pretty Tasty!

After I made this, I was not disappointed. It’s so delicious! It’s a little crunchy on the top and the pumpkin layer is nice and creamy.

If you’re not into making pies or you just don’t have time to bake a pie, this dessert would be a perfect alternative for your Thanksgiving dessert.

• Canned pumpkin puree – Make sure you’re using pumpkin puree rather than canned pumpkin pie filling.
