Pecan Pie Dump Cake

A buttery, gooey dessert with all the cozy vibes of pecan pie—without the fuss! 🥧

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
½ cup packed brown sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Layer the Dry Base
Pour the yellow cake mix evenly into the prepared baking dish—no mixing needed!
Add the Crunch
Sprinkle the chopped pecans right over the cake mix. This gives that signature pecan pie crunch.
Drizzle the Butter 🧈
Slowly drizzle melted butter across the cake mix and pecans, covering as much of the surface as possible.
Mix the Gooey Filling
In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and salt until smooth.
Pour It On
Carefully pour the condensed milk mixture over the cake, making sure it spreads evenly.
Bake Until Golden ⏲️
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling, and the center is mostly set.
Cool Slightly & Serve
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for that ultimate holiday treat. 🎄

Pro Tips

Butter Options: Want a richer flavor? Try browning the butter before pouring it over the cake mix.
Make It Nut-Free: Swap pecans for granola clusters or crushed graham crackers for crunch without the nuts.
Serving Suggestion: Tastes best warm! Reheat leftovers in the microwave for 15–20 seconds.
