Pioneer Woman’s Pecan Pie Dump Cake

Print Recipe

This dessert combines the sticky, caramel-like filling of pecan pie with a buttery cake topping. A box of cake mix, pecan halves, butter, and a rich filling layer come together to create a decadent dessert that’s crunchy on top and gooey inside.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups pecan halves

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 cup light corn syrup

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1/4 cup melted butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 box yellow cake mix

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, thinly sliced (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven

Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make the filling base

In the prepared dish, combine condensed milk, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and pecans. Spread evenly.

Step 3: Add cake mix

Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pecan mixture. Do not stir.

Step 4: Top with butter

Arrange thin slices of butter evenly across the top of the cake mix to cover as much surface as possible.

Step 5: Bake until golden

Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 6: Cool and serve

Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
