Notes

nutrition facts are only an estimate

How far in advance can I make this pumpkin spice dump cake?

You can make this dump cake a couple of days in advance if needed. The filling is super moist, so I wouldn't store it for too long. You might run the risk of the crust might starting to soften

Storage: Cover and store this in the refrigerator for up to 5 days

Can Pumpkin Pie Mix Instead of Real Pumpkin?

You can, but some people say the combination is too sweet. The cake mix has added sugar and the pumpkin mix would too. If you decide to use pumpkin pie mix then omit the brown sugar

How do you Make a Basic Dump Cake?

You'll want to layer your baking pan with a fruit-like layer on the bottom, a cake mix over that, and finally melted butter on top

Tips and Tricks:

This is a simple dump cake, but you'll still want to spread things out evenly. Try to get butter over the entire surface of the cake mix. The more moisture you give it the more even it will bake up
serve warm with whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream
use a 9x13 pan
you can store this cake at room temperature for a couple of days, or extend its life by storing it covered in the fridge for up to 5 days - honestly, you probably won't have leftovers to worry about that
