- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the dump cake.
- Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the corn syrup, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and pour the liquid mixture into it evenly.
- Add Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the syrup-egg mixture in the baking dish without stirring.
- Top with Butter and Pecans: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix and then sprinkle chopped pecans on top to finish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and set.
Notes
- Do not stir the layers after pouring and sprinkling; the magic happens as it bakes.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pecans before topping.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving to allow it to set properly.
- This dessert pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
