    Pumpkin Dump Cake Pro Tips:

    I think this dessert tastes even better the next day!

    If you are planning on serving the same day then make sure it has time to cool down, so the bottom pumpkin layer can set completely.

      I use a spice cake when I can find it. Also, use walnuts.

      We have a nut allergy. Will the topping be ok if we leave out the nuts?
