How to Make Pumpkin Dump Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix until well blended.
  3. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Sprinkle one (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture.
  5. Top with 1 cup chopped pecans.
  6. Pour 1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted butter evenly over the pecans.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or Cool Whip, if desired.
  9. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
