This was really delicious. Next time I make it, I might dial the cake mix back just a smidge. But it got rave reviews from all my co-workers! Thank you!!

Simple and delish. I made this for a birthday celebration for the future in-laws and it was a hit! I took the previous reviewers advice and withheld about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of the cake mix which yielded a crispy and buttery topping- yum! Thanks!

Great recipe. I substituted sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin and it was a big hit.

I thought the cake mix amount was fine, but mine turned out a bit oily in the bottom of the pan, so I might increase the bake time by a few minutes. Otherwise, I love the almost mousse-like texture of the pumpkin!

Big hit and very easy to make. And thanks to everyone’s suggestions, I held back a bit of the cake mix.

Wonderfully easy and amazingly fluffy with a little crispyness on the top! Mmmm! I used my own roasted and pureed pumpkin (which is more watery than canned) so it took a good extra 20 minutes. But it was SO worth the wait!!

Very good! My family loved it! The in-laws loved it! I would say that makes it a success. I love pumpkin, so this will see rotation on my menus often.

This was very good. Believe it or not I only had half of a cake mix and a single can of pumpkin so I essentially halved the recipe and it turned out wonderfully. Will make again.

Amazing! I’ve come dangerously close to eating it all, I had to take half to my neighbors so I wouldnt!

I just made this tonight and it was awesome!
Next time I’ll cook it for the full hour and not listen to my husband keep telling me “I think u need to take it out”

Where I come from, this is called pumpkin dump cake. There are lots of different flavored dump cakes – this is probably the best one.

Try it with a spice cake mix. It is to die for!

What oven temperature did you use for this recipe?
Juanita on 10.5.2010
I’m so sorry! I baked it at 350 degrees F.
musician1- that sounds amazing! I’ll have to try that next time…

This sounds wonderful! I cant wait to try it this holiday season. Thanks for sharing.

@ musician1: Do you leave out the rest of the spices if you use the spice cake mix?
Kellie on 10.5.2010
or if you use the canned pumpkin pie stuff in stead of just pumpkin puree?

this is one of my most favorite recipes from my childhood! Thank you for reminding me it’s time to make this again

Heard of AND made Dump Cakes a long time ago–but I had NEVER thought of Pumpkin! Wonderful–and I’ve gotta try the Spice cake mix–lovely touch!
Thanks! And it’s the perfect time of year–with ice cream and a cup of coffee–WOW!!!

We just celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving, and I stumbled accross this recipe and just had to make it. I only had a spice cake in my pantry, and fortunately, someone had already commented about using a spice cake. This was so easy to make, and was absolutely delicious! It would make an excellent dessert to take to a pot luck over the holidays since it can serve quite a few people.
**My only initial concern was for the weight measurement of the pumpkin, I used the large tin that makes 2 pies and it was just right.
