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.
