Looking for an easy last-minute dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas? I found this Pecan Pumpkin Dump Cake online and it is quick and delicious.
My neighbor, who recently moved away, gave me the recipe, but I lost it. Rather than bother her, I just googled and found a similar one.
I’ve included the recipe below. Since I only made it once, I would recommend not over-baking. Next time, I’ll remove it from the oven a few minutes early.
Enjoy.
