How to Make a Pumpkin Spice Dump Cake Using a Cake Mix

Most dump cake recipes are only 3 steps:

  1. Dump in fruit or pie filling.
  2. Dump in cake mix.
  3. Top with pats of cold butter.

Since pumpkin puree isn’t quite the same consistency as fruit pie fillings, this cake does require using a spoon or mixer before baking. But it’s still ready to bake in under 10 minutes!
