Pumpkin Crunch Cake is a delicious dessert that is a snap to make and yummy enough to serve for company. It’s not actually cake-like at all, it’s more like a crustless pumpkin pie with a yummy, cakey, buttery, nut topping.
I’m talking Super YUM!
This is the perfect dessert for any time during the fall season but it would also be a great addition to your Thanksgiving dessert offerings.

Pumpkin Crunch Cake
Yay, it's Fall!! My favorite season of the year. Pumpkins, apples, baking, Fall leaves, warm soup, cool crisp air! What's not to LOVE? Would you like one more reason to join me in my Fall love fest? Three words...Pumpkin--Pie--Fudge! Oh, yes. Oh yes, I did!
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1-15 Ounce Pumpkin Puree Canned
- 1-12 Ounce Evaporated Milk Canned
- 4 Eggs Large
- 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
- 2 Teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1-18.25 Ounce Yellow Cake Mix
- 1 1/2 Cups Pecans Chopped
- 1 Cup Unsalted Butter Melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix well, and spread into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle cake mix over the top of the pumpkin mixture, and pat down. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over the cake mix, then drizzle with melted butter.

Great idea, Christine!! 🙂
Love this recipe! It was a hit with my husband’s coworkers and it’s very easy to make.
I’m so happy to hear that, Joan! 🙂
This is a keeper. It’s super easy to make and great flavor and texture.
Thank you Rhonda!
Hello,
Looks great getting ready to make my own right now… Just a question the yellow cake mixture is it just the powder format of does it have to be prepped as according to the instructions on the box?
Thank you
HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hi Ashley. Ignore the package instructions and just use the mix as an ingredient.
i made it with a 15 oz can of pumpkin and yes it is a bit runny but cooks up fine. It tastes very good. I have a question – does it need to be refrigerated? Does anybody know?
Hey Tammy. So glad you liked it. Honestly, I do not know if it has to be refrigerated. I’m sorry. I refrigerate mine if I have any extra but I don’t know if it has to be.
Hmm..every other pumpkin dump cake calls for a 29oz can of pumpkin, not 15 0z. Mine is in the oven, but it looks awfully runny. Has anyone actually made this recipe yet?
Hi Mary Beth. Well, I have made it 🙂 I definitely use 15 ounces and it works great.
I first found this recipe inside an egg carton. I made for a potluck should have made two! It goes quickly and even pumpkin pie haters like this!

This cake sounds great and a wonderful alternative to the sometimes boring pumpkin pie. I see the recipe specifies white sugar. Do you think it would be okay to substitute brown sugar or even half brown sugar? Thanks so much. Your site is great.
Sue in your comments is a friend of mine and I am going to her luncheon – I hope she makes this – looks delish!
