The easiest dessert you will make this fall! This Pumpkin Spice Dump Cake is packed with fall flavor that you are going to love.
Fall Dessert:
This Pumpkin Spice Dump Cake is a simple cake that you just dump and bake! So simple and easy to put together, taste amazing, and completely perfect for fall.
As soon as October rolls around I am ready to bake. Cookies, cakes, bread, and the more pumpkin spice the better.
How to make Pumpkin Spice Dump Cake:
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!
Ingredient Notes:
- Pumpkin Puree: Make sure this is pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix.
- Evaporated Milk
- Large Eggs
- Ground Cinnamon
- Sugar
- Box Spice Cake Mix
- Butter: unsalted and melted.
Directions:
Step One: Let’s get started by preheating our oven to 350 degrees.
Then you want to prepare a baking dish (9X13) with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Step Two: Now whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, cinnamon, and sugar.
Pour the liquid mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.
Step three: Sprinkle spice cake mix on top of pumpkin mix then drizzle on melted butter.
Recipe Tip
Use the whole box and break up any large clumps of the mix that may fall out.
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.
Step four: Bake for 60-65 minutes. Cool for 25-30 minutes.
Optional: Serve with whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon.
It is a cake after all, so you could serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top as well!
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.

Enjoyed tonight. Great flavour so I asked for the recipe. Can’t wait to share it with family.
Thanks Carol!
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.
Excellent. Followed directions exactly as printed. Turned out perfectly, So flavorful. Will definitely make again.
Made it and thoroughly enjoyed it..Halved the recipe and will probably make the other half for Thanksgiving, along with other pies etc…
Can this be made ahead and frozen?
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
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.
It will most usually be gooey like a cobbler. Some spots will be dryer depending on how it was “dumped.”
Hi Jennie, was wondering if I could add a can of Apple Pie filling, no sugar added.
Thanks!
Barbie
I think that could work!
How far in advance could I make this?
Hi Julia, I think this would keep in the fridge 1-2 days.
This looks so good I cant wait to try it
Thanks Cathy! Hope you enjoy it!
