Pumpkin. Ah, pumpkin.

Flavors of the season that you don’t want to miss.  There is just something about pumpkin and entering the fall season that is so, so endearing and delicious. Whether it’s a layered Pumpkin Pie with chocolate, Pumpkin Muffins, or a delicious Pumpkin Shake.

Now–this Pumpkin Dump Cake Recipe is amazing.  It’s light and moist, sweet without being overly so, and who can complain about adding veggies into a dessert, right?

Pumpkin is a fall flavor, but its one that I like to cook with year round.  We have so many pumpkin recipes here on All She Cooks, and I’m sure we will keep adding to that list since it is one of our favorite veggies to bake with.  There is no shortage of pumpkin around these parts.

My kids and hubby can’t resist a tall glass of milk with their sweets.  Me, I’ll take my piece of Pumpkin Dump Cake solo.  Or, maybe with hot cocoa.

I love the concept of a dump cake, don’t you?  Mix together some ingredients and dump a cake mix on top of it and let it bake.  Technically, you’re not supposed to stir the cake mix into the rest of the ingredients, but you know what?  I totally rebelled on this one.  Call me liberated,  but I decided that this Pumpkin Dump Cake Recipe would flow so much better if the cake mix was lightly mixed in instead of just dumped on top.  And–as you can see from the photos, it turned out fabulous!

I love it when I’m right.

I’m not a professional food photographer by any means, but I’ve learned several tips over the last couple of years that have lent to improved photo styling.  One tip I particularly enjoy using is height.  Whether its making a stack of cookies, putting a couple pieces of food on top of one another, or staging food–practice makes perfect.  I think I’ll keep practicing.

If you’re a pecan lover, you’re going to dig this treat–or dig right into it.  I’d hold you back, but that would just be so I could cut in front of you and grab a piece of Pumpkin Dump Cake for myself.  You know, when it comes to dessert, I’m the first in line.
