This Pumpkin Dump Cake recipe is a seriously easy dessert recipe. You get all the flavor of a traditional pumpkin pie without in less time. It doesn’t get any easier than this pumpkin dump cake with yellow cake mix for your Thanksgiving dessert. 

Growing up in a family with working parents, my parents spent most of their time away from work together as a family. Having lots of together was nice, but it also meant a lot of eating out and convenience foods. As a family of three, labor-intensive dinners or homemade treats was never a priority.

Most of my culinary skills evolved after getting married. That means I’ve experienced lots of trial and error, successes and failures. While it’s no fun to experience a total fail in the kitchen, I have learned some valuable things along the way.

For a pre-Thanksgiving dessert this year, I whipped up a delicious pumpkin pie dump cake. If you’re looking for something different than a traditional pumpkin pie, or even if you’re looking for something less labor intensive or for fewer dishes to clean, you should definitely check out this easy Pumpkin Dump Cake recipe!
