This Easy Pumpkin Dump Cake with Yellow Cake Mix uses only four ingredients and minimal effort to create a dessert with a buttery, crunchy top and a creamy pumpkin bottom. Perfect for fall gatherings, it’s a crowd-pleaser that tastes like you spent hours on it.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the rack in the center of the oven. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the entire can of pumpkin puree and the entire can of evaporated milk. Whisk together until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly to all corners.
  4. Sprinkle the entire box of yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin layer. Do not stir. Spread it out with your fingers or a spoon until it covers the surface completely.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix, covering as much surface area as possible. Do not stir.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown and the edges are bubbling. The center should be set but still slightly jiggly. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil after 35 minutes.
  7. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the pumpkin layer to set.

Notes

Don’t overmix the pumpkin layer. Use room temperature ingredients for smoother blending. Spread the cake mix evenly to avoid raw flour spots. Let the cake rest for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting. The cake tastes even better the next day. For a spiced version, add 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the pumpkin mixture. For a nutty crunch, sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
