A rich, gooey dessert that combines the flavor of pecan pie with the ease of a dump cake. No crust, no fuss — just mix, dump, and bake.
1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
3 large eggs
1 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1½ cups pecan halves or chopped
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Whisk eggs, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stir in pecans.
Pour mixture into pan.
Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over filling. Do not stir.
Drizzle melted butter over top to cover.
Bake 45–55 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Cool 15–20 minutes before serving.
Add chocolate chips or bourbon for variation.
Store in fridge up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
