I too had a lot of dry cake mix on top. What's the secret to a fully mixed cake batter?

I have been making this for Thanksgiving for over 20 years...for best results, do not use pumpkin pie mix. But, if you wish extra spices, add them...I have even added a bit of ginger spice. I liked the suggestion I saw here for using spice cake mix...I think that would be really yummy. This Thanksgiving, I left the pecans off about 1/4 of the cake, for those who do not care for them.

Hi there! This recipe doesn’t require prepared cake batter. Just sprinkle the powdered cake mix on top of the pumpkin mixture. Easy-peazy!

Hey @Jillybn! You can definitely use white cake mix instead, and it’ll taste just as great!

Loved this recipe. Made it the night before bunco, hubby & my boys wanted to taste it because the whole house smelled incredible. It is so delicious & my hubby doesn't like pumpkin pie.

Hi Sorefeet65 – The left over cake should be refrigerated. Make sure to store in an air-tight container.

Love this Pumpkin Dump Cake. We make this instead of pumpkin pie and we don't have to worry about soggy crust the next day.

Made this ahead of time in the morning for a family dinner later on, everyone really liked it! Skipped the nuts cause I didn't have any. Definitely needs the whipped cream on top. I think next time I'll use a spice cake mix instead of yellow cake, I thought the yellow gave it a fake butter taste. Will absolutely make again, it's so easy!

@Tweety3, I think fresh pumpkin would work great! @Millie101, you do not have to prepare the cake mix. Just sprinkle it on dry and pour the melted butter evenly over it.

I used a box of Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix with good results. I just wish I had thought to add some chopped pecans.

11/4/2011 8:09:05 PM

Millie101 said:

Do you need to add anything to the cake mix or do you just pour it in dry? THANKS. (i.e: Do you need to make the cake per cake box directions?)
