Pecan Pie Dump Cake

A couple weeks ago, one of my friends on Facebook posted the recipe they found for a pecan pie dump cake and said it didn't turn out correctly. Well, I jumped into experimenting and trying to figure out what happened or tweaking original recipe. Anyways, here is my recipe and I love it!

Pecan Pie Dump Cake

2 sticks butter

2 c pecans

1 c brown sugar, packed

1/2 c water

1/2 t ground cinnamon

1 t vanilla extract

1 box of yellow cake mix

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a 9x13 casserole dish, melt 1 stick of butter and place in bottom of casserole dish. Sprinkle with pecans.

In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, water, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Pour it over the pecan layer.

Sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the pecan and flavoring layer in the casserole dish. Try to even it out, but do not mix.

Add 1 stick of cold butter cut into small slices over the cake mixture. (You can sprinkle additional pecans on top of you want before baking.)

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 350°F. Then let rest for 20 minutes before serving.

It can be serves with ice cream or a drizzle of your choice like caramel.

One Variation Test:

I added 1 can of Apple pie filling before sprinkling with the cake mix.

Pecan pie dump cake is a delightful and easy dessert that combines the rich flavors of pecans and brown sugar with the convenience of a cake mix. This recipe is perfect for anyone who loves the taste of pecan pie but wants a faster, less complicated way to enjoy it. The layering approach, where melted butter and pecans form the base, followed by a mixture of brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and vanilla, creates a luscious syrup that seeps into the yellow cake mix on top, resulting in a wonderfully moist and flavorful cake after baking. One key to success with this recipe is making sure not to stir the cake mix into the other ingredients. This creates a layered texture that mimics the traditional pecan pie filling. Adding cold butter slices on top helps the cake brown beautifully and adds richness. For serving, this dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce, balancing the sweetness with a creamy or buttery touch. Some bakers enjoy sprinkling extra pecans on top before baking for added crunch and visual appeal. As a variation, incorporating a can of apple pie filling beneath the cake mix introduces a fruity twist, blending the flavors of apple and pecan pies. This addition offers a new dimension of taste and moisture while keeping the ease of a dump cake. Whether you're an experienced baker or a beginner, this pecan pie dump cake recipe is forgiving and straightforward, making it a great choice for holiday gatherings or everyday treats. Experimenting with toppings like whipped cream, chocolate chips, or even a pinch of nutmeg can make each batch uniquely yours.
