Notes

  • Serve Warm or at Room Temp: This cake can be served warm (allow it to cool for around 30 minutes after baking) with a dollop of fresh cream or a scoop of ice cream. It also tastes great when it's served at room temp!
  • If the Cake is Browning Too Quickly, cover it with a piece of foil to prevent it from becoming too brown.
  • Storing: This pumpkin dump cake tastes best when it's fresh. But if you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before serving.
  • Freezing: Wrap individual slices tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge, and reheat before serving.
