Alright, alright, let’s get this straight. You wanna make somethin’ called “pumpkin dump cake”? Sounds kinda messy, but if it’s tasty, I ain’t complainin’. And only three things? Even better! My old bones ain’t got time for fancy stuff. So, listen up, I’ll tell ya how to make this 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Dump Cake, the easy way, like how we used to do things back in the day.
First off, you gonna need a pumpkin. Now, don’t go gettin’ all highfalutin with fresh pumpkins. A can of that pumpkin stuff, you know, the pureed kind, that’ll do just fine. We ain’t got time to be scoopin’ and mashin’. Just get the can, the big one, yeah, that’s the one. That’s our first thing, see? Pumpkin puree, that’s what the fancy folks call it.

- Ingredient 1: A big ol’ can of pumpkin puree.
Next, you need somethin’ to make it sweet and cake-like. Now, I heard tell of folks usin’ all sorts of things, but we gonna keep it simple. You go get yourself a box of cake mix. Yeah, a spice cake mix. The one with the picture of the cake on the box, can’t miss it. Don’t get no yellow cake, no chocolate cake, gotta be spice cake, understand? That’s got all them warm, cozy spices already in it, no fuss, no muss. That’s our second thing, a spice cake mix.
- Ingredient 2: A box of spice cake mix.
And lastly, you gotta have somethin’ to hold it all together, make it buttery and yummy. Butter, that’s what you need. Real butter, not that fake stuff. You melt it down, pour it all over, and that’s what makes it golden brown and crispy on top. We’re usin’ melted butter, that’s the ticket. Don’t skimp on the butter, that’s what makes it good, you hear?
- Ingredient 3: Melted butter, don’t be stingy!
Okay, so we got our three things, see? Pumpkin, cake mix, and butter. Easy peasy. Now, let’s get to makin’ this pumpkin dump cake.
First, you grease up your pan. Just rub some butter in there, or use that spray stuff if you got it. Don’t want it stickin’, now do we? Then, you dump that whole can of pumpkin right in the pan. Spread it out a little, not too fancy, just make it even. That’s it for the pumpkin part, done and done.
Next, you take that box of spice cake mix and sprinkle it all over the pumpkin. Just pour it right on top, cover the pumpkin good. Don’t mix it in, just leave it like it is. It’s called “dump cake” for a reason, ain’t it? We ain’t got time for all that fancy mixin’ and stirrin’.
Now, the best part. You take that melted butter and pour it all over the cake mix. Make sure every bit of that cake mix gets covered in butter. That’s what makes it all golden and crunchy, you see. Don’t leave no dry spots, get that butter everywhere.
That’s it! You’re done! Just stick it in the oven. About 350 degrees, I reckon. And bake it for… well, I don’t rightly know, maybe half an hour, maybe a little longer. Just keep an eye on it. When it’s all golden brown and bubbly on top, and it smells like pumpkin spice heaven, then it’s ready. You can stick a toothpick in it if you wanna be fancy, but I just kinda look at it and guess. Been bakin’ long enough to know when somethin’s done.

Let it cool a bit, then dig in. It ain’t pretty, mind you. This ain’t no fancy city cake. But it’s good, real good. This 3-ingredient pumpkin dump cake is perfect for when you want somethin’ sweet but don’t wanna spend all day in the kitchen. It’s warm and cozy, and it tastes like fall. And that’s all that matters, right? Easy, tasty, and fills your belly. Can’t ask for more than that.
Now, go on and make it yourself. And don’t you fret if it ain’t perfect. It’s a dump cake, it’s supposed to be a little messy. That’s the beauty of it, see? Just enjoy it. And if you got any leftovers, you can eat it for breakfast, ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. Waste not, want not, that’s what I always say.
So there you have it, a simple pumpkin dump cake, just three things and hardly any work. You can make it even if you don’t know nothin’ about bakin’. Just follow my instructions, and you’ll have a delicious dessert in no time. Now, get to it! And don’t forget to share, unless it’s so good you wanna keep it all to yourself. I won’t tell. I done my sharin’ by tellin’ you the recipe, ain’t I?
