Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Layer the Filling
Pour the pecan pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle the optional chopped pecans over the filling for extra crunch.
Step 3: Add the Cake Mix
Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the pecan filling, covering it completely.
Step 4: Mix Butter & Milk
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and milk until combined.
Step 5: Pour Over Cake Mix
Slowly pour the butter-milk mixture evenly over the dry cake mix. Try to cover as much of the surface as possible. Do not stir.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a little gooeyness is fine). The edges should be bubbly and set.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let the dump cake cool for 15–20 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
This dump cake is incredibly easy, indulgent, and delicious—perfect for potlucks, holidays, or anytime you crave a rich, nutty dessert!
