Ingredients
– 30 ounces of pumpkin puree
– 12 ounces of evaporated milk
– 4 large eggs
– 1½ cups of granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
– 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
– 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
– one box (13 to 15 ounces) of yellow cake mix
– 1 cup of salted butter
– 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
1-Preheat and Prep: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish well to avoid sticking. This step takes 2 minutes.
2-Mix the Base: In a large bowl, whisk together 30 ounces pumpkin puree, 12 ounces evaporated milk, 4 large eggs, 1½ cups granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Pour into the dish evenly.
3-Add Cake Layer: Sprinkle the entire box (13-15 ounces) of yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture. Do not stir – that’s the dump cake magic!
4-Butter Topping: Melt 1 cup salted butter and drizzle or grate it evenly over the cake mix. This helps it form a crumbly crust.
5-Nut Crunch: Scatter 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans evenly on top for texture.
6-Bake to Perfection: Bake for about 1 hour. Look for a golden, slightly crunchy top while the pumpkin layer stays soft. Cool slightly before slicing.
