Pumpkin Dump Cake

Pumpkin Dump Cake
Pumpkin Dump Cake is a super easy super delicious recipe.  I found this recipe posted on Facebook  (FB) - I have been finding a lot of good recipes on FB.  Anyway, this cake has a deliciously moist pumpkin filling  and a slightly crunchy sweet topping.

The filling  consists of pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice.  The filling is stirred well until every thing is combined.  Your pour the filling into a 9x13 inch baking pan.  For the topping:  Pour  a box of yellow cake mix evenly over the filling.  Then pecans and toffee bits are sprinkled over the cake mix. You can use walnuts or crushed graham crackers instead of pecans if you wish.   You bake the cake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set.  The cake can be served with ice cream or whipped cream.  I served my plain.

Never have I baked an easier cake.   Take it out of the oven, let it cool, and serve.  Dessert is ready:) The family enjoyed this and I have put it on the menu for Thanksgiving Day.
