I am NOT one to rush Summer, but I was recently emailed by NY Family Magazine asking for a Fall recipe or craft. Of course I instantly thought of the most wonderful dump cake I make.
Pumpkin Crunch Dump Cake
Pumpkin Crunch Dump Cake is a staple in our home in the Fall. I searched my site and couldn’t find when I had recently shared this wonderful recipe with you…….then I remembered that I was a guest post over at Southern Fairytale.
My neighbor Joy introduced me to this Pumpkin Crunch Dump Cake a few years ago and it’s just as yummy every year I make it. It’s the perfect dessert to take to a potluck or offer as a gift. I make it every Fall for my neighborhood bunco. If you like Pumpkin Pie, then you’ll love this easy to make cake! You can’t get any easier than a dump cake.
Pumpkin Crunch Dump Cake Recipe
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Approximate Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 can pumpkin puree (regular size, not huge)
- 1 can evaporated milk (regular size 12oz?)
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 Cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 package yellow cake mix
- 1 Cup chopped nuts ( I used pecans)
- 1 Cup butter or margarine – melted
optional
- whipped cream
Instructions:
- Lightly grease 9×13 baking pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together: Pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Mix well. I use a mixer, but you could use a wooden spoon.
- Pour into prepared pan
- Sprinkle cake mix over the top of the mixture. Pat down and spread nuts evenly. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
- Bake 50-60 min.
- Top with whipped cream when serving…..if wanted. I prefer mine plain.

I LOVE it! I’ve been wanting to try this recipe, but my friend beat me to it. She made us dinner last night and brought your Pumpkin Crunch Dump Cake for dessert! I’m sure if I eat it everyday, that I’ll be recovered from my surgery in no time at all! 😉 Well, maybe not recovered but very happy!

Jane Parker says
Is that a small or large can of evaporated milk?

Just yesterday I was walking around the house, demanding of my butler “Get me a pumpkin square! I want a pumpkin square!” Okay, I don’t have a butler. And it was more like gazing out the window, wondering if I had the time/energy/patience to go stand in line to buy just one little pumpkin square at the store. Didn’t happen.
So here you are reading my pumpkinated mind and sharing this superyumful recipe! This looks waaaaay better than anything out of a cold sterile grocery display case. Many thanks! 🙂
Kim says
Nik, you crack me up!

Oh Yum! I wasn’t ever one to hurry summer to end either, and then I moved to Phoenix. Now fall can’t come soon enough!
JennyLynn says
This sounds amazing. I love to bake with pumpkin this time of year.
TidyMom says
YUM!!! I make one similar but haven’t had it in years! this looks delicious Kim! bring on FALL!!
Andrea says
Could this be made without nuts for those with allergies?
Kim says
of course…….just don’t add them to the topping. Easy peasy.
Kim says
Sure. Just don’t add the pecans to the top.

CAN’T WAIT to try this! OK, maybe I can, but it’s only because I can’t have fall until summer is over! (And of course, in Oregon, that won’t be too long to wait!) Thanks for sharing with us!!!
