We are going old school again today. I have said this before but I just love a good, old, tried and true recipe. Look at this..typed out on a typewriter. Love it! I got this recipe card from my Mom Thanks MOM!�

Why is it called Pumpkin Dump Cake?

On this recipe it is called Pumpkin Dessert. But it is mostly referred to as Pumpkin Dump Cake or Pumpkin Crunch Cake (it has a nice crunchy top!) Call it what you want but it doesn�t matter, it�s divine.�I mean, the name is not super appetizing. The dump part comes from the dumping (more like sprinkling) of the cake mix over the top of the cake.�

Ingredients you will need to make pumpkin dump cake:

pumpkin puree (make sure it�s not the canned pumpkin pie mix, just plain canned pumpkin) evaporated milk sugar salt pumpkin pie spice a box of yellow cake mix chopped nuts (I like pecan) butter

What should I top the pumpkin cake with?

I like some fresh whipped cream! You could use cool whip or even vanilla ice cream. A caramel drizzle would be amazing too.�

How do you make the best fresh whipped cream?

I like to beat the whipping cream with hand mixers. Add about 2 T. of white sugar per cup of cream. You can also use powdered sugar.�

How to make classic pumpkin dump cake:

Mix together your pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, evaporated milk salt and pumpkin pie spice! Easy!� Pour into a 9�13? dish. Sprinkle on a bag of yellow cake mix, then press down lightly. Add nuts on top. I like pecans. You can omit if you prefer Last but not least, pour a cup of melted butter all over the top! Bake and enjoy!
