Comment on Pumpkin Dump Cake by Tammy A

As some of you know I am not a huge pumpkin fan. I like the looks of them, I like the carving of them…but the taste, not so much.

I mean, it’s ALRIGHT, but you won’t ever see me eating a slice of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. Nope.

I think it’s a texture thing, like pudding or flan. Can’t do it. I believe the copious amounts of snot my children have produced since birth have turned me off to anything of that same consistency.

Call me crazy.

Now, seeing as I won’t eat pudding because of the globby consistency, you might find it funny that I WOULD eat a cake with the word “dump” in it.

BUT put together pumpkin and “dump” and you have a dessert that I WILL eat.

I know I have made no sense whatsoever today, but I am in a dump cake coma.

If you have never heard of dump cake before it was a recipe that became popular in the 80′s by church cookbooks and potlucks…my mom made them and so did my grandma. You basically dump in a few cans of fruit in a pan and cover it with cake mix and butter and bake it.

This is the same idea, only adios fruit and hola pumpkin.

Here’s how…

First you dump a can of pumpkin, a can of evaporated milk, some sugar and some eggs into a bowl…

Then stir it up…

Pour your mixture into a sprayed 9×13 baking pan and sprinkle a yellow cake mix on top.

Then you can top it with nuts, but since I don’t like nuts I topped it with some crushed graham crackers and toffee bits.

Now here’s the kicker…You now melt 2 sticks of butter and pour that over the entire thing.

Then pop it in the oven and it comes out looking something like this…minus the spoonful that’s missing because I couldn’t wait.

So, you can stop there…but if you have ice cream in the freezer, I highly recommend plopping some on top.

And p.s. ~ I had a really hard time finding pumpkin, so if you find some buy a few cans, because you are gonna want to make this more than once!
