Pumpkin Dump Cake

Our family has been enjoying this cake for years and years. Sometimes requested at birthdays and other times of the year instead of cake or pie! I like to swirl the cakemix with the pumpkin mix a little after adding the butter for a better blend. Haven't had a problem with burning, maybe it is the nuts. Nuts are usually optional. Serve with whipped cream. Yum!

I substitute a spice cake mix for the yellow cake and drizzle cream cheese icing over the cake once it is baked. I then sprinkle with pecans or walnuts. Amazing!!!!!

My husband loves this cake! I use a butter pecan cake mix and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top after the pecans are added. It is delicious! I have taken it to church dinners and everyone always asks for the recipe.

Baked it tonight; wonderful! Had to eliminate the nuts cause a family member doesn't like them; still delicious. Baked just shy of 50 minutes. I'll try it next time with spice cake.

This cake is very easy and tasty. Butter should be unsalted, I could taste the saltiness in the topping. And I think I will mix the cake mix and melted butter before sprinkling on top. I had areas that seemed like plain cake mix and they didn't brown well. Definitely making this for T-day!

Made this for Thanksgiving, so yummy. I added a box of Jello cheesecake mix in with the pumpkin, omitted the pecans, but added a cup of graham crackers crumbs and 1/2 cup of Heath toffee bits....everyone loved it.

 Sophie (Pennsylvania) says:
I follow the recipe but line my pan with parchment paper. When it's done baking, I let it cool, then flip it onto a plate, so the cake/nut mixture becomes the bottom crust. I then mix confectioners sugar, cream cheese, and cool whip to frost the pumpkin layer. It's divine! Must be refrigerated after being frosted.
