As soon as October rolls around I am ready to bake. Cookies, cakes, bread, and the more pumpkin spice the better.

Start by mixing together the pumpkin puree with the other wet ingredients and spices. Pour the pumpkin mixture into your prepared cake pan.

Next sprinkle and spread your cake mix all over on top of the pumpkin mixture. Then pour your melted butter on top of the cake mix. Bake and serve!

Recipe Tip

Can I use another cake mix? You could use another cake mix for this recipe but the spice in pumpkin spice would be missing. I would suggest adding some pumpkin pie spice to your cake mix if you use another flavor.

What is a Dump Cake?

A Dump Cake is a mix up of a cake and a cobbler. It usually consists of a fruit or pie like filling, mixed together with a box of cake mix and some kind of fat.

They are very sweet and taste amazing with some whipped cream or ice cream on top.

How do you store a dump cake?

With the fruit filling you want to store this dump cake in the refrigerator. If your casserole dish has a cover, cover your cake and put in the refrigerator.

It will last 7 days at best in the refrigerator.

  1. I just tried it. It was very easy & I took it to a church luncheon & everyone loved it. I’m going to make another one.

    1. Excellent. Followed directions exactly as printed. Turned out perfectly, So flavorful. Will definitely make again.

  2. Made it and thoroughly enjoyed it..Halved the recipe and will probably make the other half for Thanksgiving, along with other pies etc…

  3. I forgot the sugar and I added one more egg it was kind of dry so I put sugar water and pumpkin spice and mix it really good and poked holes in the cake do to not putting sugar in the actual pumpkin batter

  4. How can you tell when this cake is done? Is supposed to be a regular cake or gooey like a cobbler? The top of mine was dry and powdery where the cake mix had no butter and bubbling in the spots where the butter was.
