Recipe Tips:

  • Prepare Baking Dish – We recommend spraying the baking dish with cooking spray. This helps to easily serve the dump cake and for an easy clean up.
  • Layer Ingredients – After pouring the pumpkin cake ingredients layer the cake mix and melted butter over the top. This allows for the cake to cook perfectly and with a golden brown top.
  • Pumpkin – Make sure to use Can Pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling to make this recipe. Pumpkin Pie Filling does not work in this recipe.
  • Baking Dish – Make sure to make this cake in a 9×13 baking pan. It baked in a smaller pan it could overflow in your oven or be to thin.

Variation Ideas:

  • Cake Mix – We used a yellow cake mix in this recipe. But you can use any flavor of cake mix. Make this recipe with a white cake mix or a spice cake mix for delicious flavor.
  • Chopped Nuts – We can mix this recipe without nuts but we love to top with chopped pecans. Feel free to use other types of nuts. Slice almonds or chopped walnuts for a delicious variations. You can even use shredded coconut or toffee bits.
  • Topping – You can serve this pumpkin pie cake topped with a whipped cream or cool whip. When we serve it warm, we love to top with vanilla ice cream.
  • Brown Sugar – If you prefer you can use brown sugar instead of white sugar. Sugar and cinnamon is the perfect combination when mixed with the other ingredients.
  • Cool Completely – This recipe is perfect to serve warm or at room temperature.

How to Store Leftovers:

Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for best results. Make sure the pumpkin pie cake has cooled before storing. Cover the cake with a plastic wrap and it will last about 3 to 4 days in the fridge.

How do you know when Pumpkin Cake is done:

We cooked this cake in about 55 minutes. Cooking time will vary based on your oven but I would check it around this time. The center maybe jiggly but it will finish cooking as it rest on the counter.

The center will stiffen as the cake cools on wire racks.

Can you Freeze Pumpkin Pie Cake?

Yes, you can freeze pumpkin pie cake. Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, place the cake in a freezer safe container. Make sure to cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to ensure no freezer burns.

This cake will last up to 2 months in the freezer.

Once you are ready to serve, allow the pumpkin cake to thaw overnight in the fridge. We like to reheat and serve warm. But you can also serve cold.

    I made this on Thanksgiving for my family. Some prefer cake, others prefer pie. This was the best of both worlds and pleased everyone! A dollop of whipped cream finished it off to make it THE perfect dessert for all.

  2. 5 stars
    This is my favorite cake recipe! Fair warning, it’s highly addictive! 🤣 This is a great dessert to make when you want a change from plain pumpkin. I’ve made it with and without nuts and both ways are delicious!

  3. 5 stars
    I am not a big fan of pumpkin pie, but I do like pumpkin, so the idea of pumpkin pie cake was interesting to me. This was so good and I will make it again!
