I call this delicious fall recipe 1-2-3 pumpkin cake because it’s made of three layers. It reminds me a little of a dump cake, but a more “from scratch” version — not just cake mix. (If you don’t know what a dump cake is, check out my rhubarb dump cake recipe.)
I like to serve it for the first time fresh from the oven, but it’s equally delicious when cooled down, so try it both ways and see which you prefer.
Here’s how to make it:
1-2-3 Pumpkin Cake
It looks kinda wackadoo when it’s done baking, but it doesn’t taste wackadoo. It tastes amazing! Just scoop up large spoonfuls and serve it on pretty dessert plates or in bowls.
I recommend you top it with a scoop of ice cream or dollop of whipped cream too!
Enjoy!
