Pecan Dump Cake Ingredients

  • 1 can (21 oz) pecan pie filling
  • 1 package (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Spread the pecan pie filling: Pour the entire can of pecan pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Smooth it out with a spatula for an even layer.
  3. Add the cake mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pecan pie filling layer, making sure to cover it completely but do not mix the layers.
  4. Top with melted butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer. The butter will help moisten the cake and give it a golden crust.
  5. Bake the cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the layers set for easier cutting and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier melting and even drizzling.
  • For a richer flavor, try using a butter pecan cake mix instead of yellow cake mix.
  • This dessert pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute pecan pie filling with other nut or fruit pie fillings for variations.
