Instructions:
-
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
2. Layer the Filling: Pour the can of pecan pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If you’re using extra chopped pecans, sprinkle them over the filling now.
-
3. Add the Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the pecan pie filling layer. Make sure to cover it completely.
-
4. Melted Butter & Milk: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and milk until combined.
-
5. Pour Over Cake Mix: Slowly and evenly pour the butter and milk mixture over the dry cake mix. Try to get it as distributed as possible, covering most of the cake mix. Don’t stir!
-
6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or mostly clean, a little gooeyness is okay for dump cake!). The edges should be bubbly and set.
-
7. Cool & Serve: Let the dump cake cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set up a bit. It’s absolutely divine served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
Enjoy this ridiculously easy and incredibly delicious dessert! Let me know if you try it!
