Description

A super simple, no-fuss pumpkin dessert where you ‘dump’ ingredients into a pan and bake — perfect for fall gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Spread the pumpkin puree evenly in the prepared pan.
  3. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over the pumpkin.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix on top of the pumpkin layer.
  5. Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix.
  6. Optional: sprinkle chopped nuts over the top.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
  8. Allow to cool slightly, then serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Notes

You can use a boxed spice cake mix instead of yellow cake for extra flavor. Great for potlucks or casual fall desserts.
