Pumpkin Dump Cake

As some of you know I am not a huge pumpkin fan.  I like the looks of them, I like the carving of them…but the taste, not so much.

I mean, it’s ALRIGHT, but you won’t ever see me eating a slice of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving.  Nope.

I think it’s a texture thing, like pudding or flan.  Can’t  do it.  I believe the copious amounts of snot my children have produced since birth have turned me off to anything of that same consistency.

Call me crazy.

Now, seeing as I won’t eat pudding because of the globby consistency, you might find it funny that I WOULD eat a cake with the word “dump” in it.

BUT put together pumpkin and “dump” and you have a dessert that I WILL eat.

I know I have made no sense whatsoever today, but I am in a dump cake coma.

If you have never heard of dump cake before it was a recipe that became popular in the 80′s by church cookbooks and potlucks…my mom made them and so did my grandma.  You basically dump in a few cans of fruit in a pan and cover it with cake mix and butter and bake it.

This is the same idea, only adios fruit and hola pumpkin.

Here’s how…

First you dump a can of pumpkin, a can of evaporated milk, some sugar and some eggs into a bowl…

Then stir it up…

Pour your mixture into a sprayed 9×13 baking pan and sprinkle a yellow cake mix on top.

Then you can top it with nuts, but since I don’t like nuts I topped it with some crushed graham crackers and toffee bits.

Now here’s the kicker…You now melt 2 sticks of butter and pour that over the entire thing.

Then pop it in the oven and it comes out looking something like this…minus the spoonful that’s missing because I couldn’t wait.

So, you can stop there…but if you have ice cream in the freezer, I highly recommend plopping some on top.

And p.s. ~ I had a really hard time finding pumpkin, so if you find some buy a few cans, because you are gonna want to make this more than once!

    Yeah, the consistency of pumpkin pie makes me gag too. There’s a million other things loaded with fat and sugar that I’d rather eat than that. And now I can add the pumpkin dump cake to the mix. This may make it to my Thanksgiving table. Or maybe an Oktoberfest next month. Or maybe my mouth this weekend.

    See, I love baked pumpkin, but I, too, despise pumpkin pie. It’s so gross, and I tell my husband that the texture is nasty. He does not understand texture food issues, and thinks I am crazy. Or that it’s only women who get it. I CAN do pudding, but only soft pudding, no rice or tapioca (Blech!) or flan! OMG, ew. Anyway, I might have to make this, like tomorrow. Seriously. I’m in heaven, love and so happy to find this on Pinterest. Thanks from your new BFF! ;)

    Just wanted to say that I think 1 stick of butter would be enough. I made the recipe as listed, it took a bit longer to bake and was still a bit gooey. In the past, the dump cakes that I’ve made have only used 1 stick of butter. I put graham crackers, toffee, and pecans on top!

    I made it last night in a casserole dish and the butter seemed like way too much, so I’ll cut back next time. Other than that it was great. Pumpkin is in shortage here. Two questions: Do you have a similar recipe that uses apple sauce as the fruit? What would happen if I mixed it all together and left off the topping? Would it just be a cake? Thank you!!

      I have an old recipe that my mom used to make that used cherry pie filling and pineapple and it was the most delicious cobbler you could ever want. So I bet if you mixed a can of apple pie filling in it would be great!! You could easily leave off the toffee or the graham crackers and it would be good, the cake mix and butter will make like a streusel. Good luck and let me know how it comes out!!

    Teri says:

    I live in Washington and work at Fred Meyer…WE HAVE PUMPKIN…there is a shortage so I tell everyone to stock up as who know how long we will have it . shortage has something to do with the rain where the pumpkins are grown. Last season was sporatic and then none until just 2 weeks ago. Anyway…can’t wait to thy this.

    I have a very simple recipe for Pumpkin cookies. 1 spice cake mix (dry) and 1- 15oz can pumpkin. chocolate and or cinnamon chips and nuts optional. Thats it. mix together and bake for about 12 min. Pretty yummy and few calories (think it was given to me at a Weight Watcher meeting.

    I recently made a dump cake but I cut the butter into the cake mix. I like the way it turned out better then pouring the melted butter on top. I always seemed to get hard (but delicious) globs. I love the additions of toffee bits and graham cracker crumbs.

    Dump cake was a huge hit with this topping:

    CUSTARD TOPPING
    1 pkg. cheesecake instant pudding
    1 1/2 c. milk
    1/2 c. heavy cream
    1/8 c. confectioners’ sugar
    1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

    Prepare pudding as package label directs, using only 1 ½ cup milk. Pour into medium bowl; place waxed paper directly on surface. Refrigerate.
    In a small bowl, combine heavy cream, 1/8 cup confectioners’ sugar and the vanilla; with portable mixer beat at medium speed just until stiff. Fold whipped cream mixture into pudding until combined. Refrigerate to chill well, several hours or overnight.

    I had this on my weekly dinner menu for dessert one night. Ended up having an inpromptu cookout at the lake a few weeks ago. I wanted to take dessert because we never have enough, believe it or not. I really didn’t have anything else on hand to make so I made this with the feeling that it wasn’t going to get eaten because of it being pumpkin. I shouldn’t have worried at all. I had 6 grown men standing there with their plates dividing up what little was left of the cake to take home. It was a huge hit and will become a staple at our house. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.

    I made this for christmas and it was a huge hit! I used the pecans and almost one cup of toffe. This will be something I make every year.

    My family has a similar recipe, only we call it Pumpkin Pie Cake! We don’t usually put the extra bits on the top part before the butter, though.

    Hi! Your writing of this blog post cracks me up. I’m same way! I don’t like pumpkin pie (def. texture thing!) and I despise nuts in my food. Ha! This cake sounds delicious. I’m back on the Weight Watchers band wagon right now…. perhaps for my next splurge I’ll indulge in this. Pinned to save for later!

    This sounds so delicious. I find myself with everything in the cupboard except the yellow cake :( I wonder if Spice cake would work? Thanks for sharing the recipe – I haven’t thought about dump cakes since I was a kid attending church potluck dinners!

    Instead of a yellow cake mix, what about using a spice cake mix with the pumpkin?..Im a pumpkin addict myself…

    Love ur blog; a couple of comments/questions:
    I have made dump cakes in the crock pot; turned out great!
    I am diabetic, & recently read that pumpkin is really good for u; I stocked up after the holidays when canned pumpkin was low, low, low.
    Once in a while I make a cake; I use applesauce instead of oil w the cake mix. Tastes fine, less fat. I wish there was a good sub for brown sugar!
    Never liked pumpkin pie either, but now my bro-in-law makes the kind with the layer of like a cream cheese mixture & I think graham cracker crust. It is SO yummy!
    Thanks for your site; I have subscribed to your emails!

    sorry, i’ve got a major gripe here.

    this is NOT a “dump” cake by any means.

    youre mixing all your stuff before you put it in a pan…. thats just like making a cake. yes yes i know youre “dumping” your cake mix on top.

    but the point of a DUMP cake is that there is NOOOO mixing… only DUMPING hence the name “dump cake”

    all you do is DUMP the ingredients in the baking dish. no other dishes needed.

    please make sure you understand something before you name things incorrectly.

    thank you.

    all that considered- it sounds like a delicious non-dump dessert.

      Wow. Well, thanks for your opinion ;)
      And since the recipe was adapted from a recipe given to me by a good friend, I will be sure to pass along the advice.
