Pecan Pie Dump Cake brings together everything you love about classic pecan pie and old-fashioned dump cake. This easy dessert is rich, buttery, and full of crunchy pecans, delivering all the warm, gooey flavors of pecan pie without the effort of making a homemade crust. Whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner or just craving something sweet and comforting, this dessert is a definite winner.
Just a handful of simple ingredients are needed:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Yellow cake mix | 1 box |
| Large eggs | 3 |
| Light corn syrup | 1 cup |
| Brown sugar, packed | 1 cup |
| Butter, melted | 1/2 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Pecan halves | 2 cups |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt together. Stir in the pecans so they’re fully coated.
Pour the pecan mixture into the baking dish.
Evenly scatter the dry yellow cake mix over the top.
Gently press the cake mix down with the back of a spoon—do not mix it in.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the surface is golden and crisp while the inside remains slightly gooey.
Let the dump cake rest for a few minutes before slicing. For an extra treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
