A new taste on pumpkin, Pumpkin Dump Cake

[SWright363]

Hi all
Tried this on Sunday and it is WONDERFUL!!! My son liked it better warm with Cool Whip, I liked it better cold with Cool Whip.

2 15 oz. cans of pure pumpkin
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 12 oz can evaporated milk
1 tsp salt
3 tsp cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice)

1 yellow cake mix
3/4 cup melted butter
1/2 - 1 cup pecan pieces (optional but really good with them)

Preheat oven to 350, spray a 9x13 pan (or casserole) with cooking spray.
Using a mixer blend first 6 ingredients until mixed well. Pour this batter into the casserole dish or pan. Now take the DRY cake mix and sprinkle it on the top of the pumpkin batter. Pour the melted butter on top of the dry cake mix. Sprinkle with the pecans. Now bake for 50 minutes. The recipe does not say to refrigerate, but I did and it was really good either way.

Also, you can do this same cake using 1 large can crushed pineapple and 1 can of cherry pie filling instead of the 1st 6 ingredients. Just "dump" (hence the name) the pineapple, spread it out, dump the cherries in, spread, sprinkle the cake mix, dry, on top, pour the melted butter and sprinkle the pecans. Bake for 50 at 350. This version is really, really, really good warm with vanilla ice cream.
