Steps
Follow these easy steps to create your own Pecan Pie Dump Cake:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Spread the cake mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped pecans and corn syrup.
5. Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the cake batter in the baking dish.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
7. Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Variations
While the classic Pecan Pie Dump Cake recipe is already a crowd-pleaser, feel free to get creative and add your own twist to this dessert:
– Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake batter for some warm, spicy notes.
– Substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different flavor profile.
– Drizzle caramel sauce over the finished cake for an extra indulgent touch.
– Serve the cake with a side of fresh berries or a fruit compote for a refreshing contrast to the richness of the pecans.
These variations allow you to customize the Pecan Pie Dump Cake to suit your taste preferences and experiment with different flavor combinations.
