Harvest is in the air, Fall is finally here, and that means it’s time to let loose and enjoy some amazing Pumpkin Spice Dump Cake!  That’s right… this Pumpkin Dump Cake is both ridiculously easy to make, and pure pumpkin perfection!

Barb writes: "We make this for Thanksgiving every year! We've made believers of those who don't care for pumpkin pie but they love this dessert!"

This decadent layered dessert is the perfect blend of dreamy pumpkin flavor paired with cozy Autumn spices, and is an absolute Fall must-have! And thanks to canned pumpkin and a box of spice cake mix, it’s such a cinch to make!

The only question will be… to devour it warm, or serve it chilled!  Just like in ‘The Three Bears’… some like it hot, and some like it cold.  So you can either serve it warm with vanilla ice cream on top, or serve it chilled with whip cream on top… okay and maybe a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, too! 🙂 The choice is yours!  

So are you ready for the ultimate dreamy Fall treat?  Trust me… it’s delish!

Here’s what you’ll need to make yours…
