You’ll need pecan pie filling, cake mix, butter, and pecans. No complicated steps—just simple pantry staples for a quick and easy dessert.
Grease a 9x13-inch dish lightly to prevent sticking. This ensures your dump cake bakes evenly and is easy to scoop out when ready to serve.
Spread the pecan pie filling evenly at the bottom of the dish. This creates a gooey, rich base that pairs perfectly with the cake topping.
Evenly distribute a dry cake mix over the filling. No mixing required! This step gives your cake a soft yet slightly crispy, golden crust.
Slice butter into thin pieces and place them on top of the cake mix. As it melts, it creates a delicious, buttery flavor and a perfectly baked texture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for about 40 minutes. The top should be golden, and the filling should be bubbly and fragrant.
Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence!
