Print Recipe

A simple yet indulgent dump cake featuring layers of pumpkin puree, tangy cream cheese, and a cinnamon-sugar cake mix topping, baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese (full-fat, brick-style, softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin layer.
  6. In a small bowl, combine yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar plus 1 teaspoon cinnamon until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  7. Sprinkle the cake mix topping evenly over the cream cheese dollops without pressing down.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes until edges are golden brown and the center is set but has a slight jiggle.
  9. Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
  10. Serve warm with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not overmix the cream cheese layer. Let the cake cool completely before slicing to prevent the layers from sliding apart. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free yellow cake mix.
