Gotta Try Dessert: Pumpkin Dump Cake

November 19 by Kristin

This pumpkin dump cake is the perfect semi-homemade holiday recipe and SOOO good!

If you’ve never heard, can I introduce you to the concept of ‘dump cake?’  While the name is quite unflattering, the concept is genius! 

The cake consists of several pantry ingredients and some eggs…involves a few stirs and about an hour in the oven.  And all the busy moms rejoiced!  Any time I have to make a dessert on the fly, it’s a dump cake.

This particular cake is of the pumpkin variety.  And hold the term cake loosely, because this tastes like a pumpkin pie married a cobbler and had a baby.  The pumpkin pie layer holds up, but there’s no flour in the mixture to make it a true cake.

Either way, serve it with ice cream and you’ll have everyone cheering your name.
