This Easy One-Bowl Pumpkin Dump Cake with Pecan Streusel is a simple, comforting dessert that tastes like fall in every bite. With a creamy pumpkin layer and a crunchy, buttery pecan topping, it’s the perfect last-minute treat for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In your large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use your spatula to spread it evenly. Give the dish a gentle tap on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the dry cake mix with the chopped pecans and brown sugar. Stir with a fork to combine.
  5. Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the pumpkin layer. Do not stir it in.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the streusel layer, covering as much of the cake mix as possible.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is deep golden brown and the edges are bubbly. The center should be set but still have a slight jiggle. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Toast pecans first for extra flavor. Use room temperature eggs for smoother mixing. Don’t overbake; check at 45 minutes. Let the cake rest for 20 minutes before serving to allow layers to set.
