How to Make Easy Pumpkin Dump Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  4. Evenly sprinkle one (15.25 ounce) box of yellow cake mix over the pumpkin batter.
  5. Sprinkle ½ cup chopped pecans over the cake mix.
  6. Drizzle melted ½ cup margarine evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Optional: Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent touch!
