What is Pumpkin Dump Cake?
Dump cakes are all about convenience. You literally dump all the ingredients into your crockpot, layer them up, and let it slow cook into a delicious mix of gooey pumpkin and a golden, crumbly cake topping. Think of it as a cross between pumpkin pie and a buttery cake. Yum! This cake is super moist… almost like a bread pudding.
This Pumpkin Dump Cake Recipe is full of pumpkin flavor and perfect for fall.
Ingredients:
- cake mix
- pumpkin puree
- evaporated milk
- butter
- eggs
- brown sugar
- graham crackers
How to Make Pumpkin Dump Cake in the Crockpot:
Prep Your Crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup later.
Pumpkin Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
Layer It: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the bottom of the crockpot, spreading it evenly.
Dump the Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture. Don’t stir! Just let it sit on top—this is what creates that perfect crumbly topping.
Add the Graham Crackers: Sprinkle the crumbled graham crackers pieces evenly across the dry cake mix.
Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours or on LOW for 4 to 5 hours. The cake should be golden on top, and the pumpkin base will be set when it’s done.
Serve It Up: Scoop your warm pumpkin dump cake into bowls and top it off with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that extra indulgence.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
- Minimal Prep: Just dump, layer, and let the crockpot work its magic. Perfect for busy days!
- Crowd-Pleaser: This dessert is great for fall parties, family gatherings, or even just a weeknight treat.
- All the Fall Feels: With pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg, this cake is packed with cozy autumn flavors.
Tips & Variations:
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: Want even more fall flavor? Add a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the pumpkin mixture for an extra boost.
- Different Cake Mixes: While I love the warmth of a spice cake mix here, you can switch it up with a yellow cake mix or butter pecan mix depending on your mood.
- Extra Toppings: A drizzle of caramel sauce or a handful of toffee bits over the top takes this cake to another level!
