Eclectic Extras: PUMPKIN DUMP CAKE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Pumpkin Dump Cake can also be prepared in a conventional oven (use a 9 x 13 baking dish and bake at 350°F for 1 hour) – it just seems to us that bringing dessert to the table in an ash covered Dutch oven makes for a more camperly sort of presentation.
Yield: 10 Servings
1 can pumpkin (about 16 oz)
8 ounces evaporated milk (one can)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 box yellow cake mix
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup melted butter (2 sticks)
In a medium sized bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Pour the pumpkin mixture into a lightly greased 12 inch Dutch oven.
Spread the dry cake mix over the pumpkin layer (make sure it reaches all the edges of the Dutch oven). Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the cake mix. Finally, drizzle melted butter over the whole thing.
Cook at about 350 degrees (9 coals down and 15 up) for around 1 hour or until lightly browned on top.
Best when served warm and topped with either whipped cream or a richly decadent vanilla ice cream.
