Description

Pecan Dump Cake is a gooey, buttery, no-mix dessert that tastes like pecan pie in cake form. This easy dump-and-bake treat is layered with caramel, pecans, and cake mix for a crowd-pleasing favorite.


Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup caramel topping
  • ½ cup salted caramel topping
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cups pecan halves
  • 1 box butter pecan cake mix (or yellow/white cake mix)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix eggs, brown sugar, caramel toppings, and ¼ cup melted butter until smooth.
  3. Fold in pecan halves and spread mixture evenly in the baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir cake mix with 1 cup melted butter until crumbly.
  5. Sprinkle the cake mix mixture over the pecan layer, covering completely.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden and bubbling at the edges.
  7. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
