🥧 Pecan Pie Dump Cake

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.

2. Layer the Filling

Pour the pecan pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top if using.

3. Add Cake Mix

Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pecan filling.
Do not stir — it will bake into a layered cobbler-like texture.

4. Drizzle Butter

Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix.
This will melt into the batter, creating a golden, moist cake layer.

5. Bake

Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.

6. Cool & Serve

Allow the cake to cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
