Notes
Even Mixing of Ingredients: Ensure that the pumpkin mixture is well combined before pouring it into the baking dish. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to thoroughly mix the pumpkin, eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. This ensures a uniform flavor and texture throughout the dump cake.
Properly Greased Baking Dish: Grease the baking dish thoroughly to prevent the dump cake from sticking to the sides and bottom. You can use butter, cooking spray, or parchment paper to grease the dish. This step ensures easy removal of the cake once it's baked and allows for a clean presentation when serving.
Cooling and Setting Time: Allow the pumpkin dump cake to cool and set for at least 45–60 minutes after baking before slicing and serving. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together and the cake to firm up, resulting in a more cohesive texture. Slicing the cake too soon may cause it to crumble or fall apart. Serve with optional toppings like vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce for added flavor and indulgence.
