This dump cake recipe is a refreshing take on your traditional pumpkin pie. Created by Carrian at the blog Oh Sweet Basil, the pumpkin pie cobbler is described as "like a gooey butter cake all dumped upside down."
The pudding-esque bottom pairs nicely with the cobbler-inspired top portion and is the perfect dessert for autumn. If you want to serve this dump cake on Thanksgiving (or any fall occasion, really), you will require specific ingredients such as pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), high quality ginger, cinnamon (the blogger suggests going with McCormick Saigon Cinnamon), cloves and either yellow or spice cake mix. The delicious dish is supposed to be served warm with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.
