Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉. (177 ℃.), spray your pan with a non-stick cooking spray, and coat it with flour.
Whisk canned pumpkin puree, milk, pumpkin pie spice, sugar, and eggs in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add mixture into your prepared 9x13 baking pan.
Evenly distribute cake mix over pumpkin filling. Cut your butter into very thin slices, and distribute over the top of the cake mix.
Top with chopped pecans.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center finishes cooking and the top is golden brown. Let it cool and enjoy!

Notes

PUMPKIN: It's important to use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, as it is pre-sweetened.
MAKE-AHEAD: Make this cake 1-2 days ahead and heat it slightly before serving.
It's okay if your butter doesn't cover all of the cake mix. It will melt and cover the bulk of it while baking.
Toast your pecans for a deep, rich, nutty flavor.
Make sure to let your cake cool a bit so that it sets before serving it.
The toffee bits are an optional topping to add before baking, but they are totally worth it!

To Refrigerate: Store your Pumpkin Dump Cake tightly covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

To Freeze: Bake and then let your cake cool completely. Cover it tightly and place it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
