Pumpkin Delight actually follows in the new tradition of the dump cake, where yellow cake mix is mixed with fruit (in this case the autumnal sweetness of pumpkin) to make a treat that is easy to whip up and even easier to love! The warming spices, the creamy rich flavor, the texture, the crunchy pecans… Yep, every part of this is just a delight, even more so when served alongside ice cream. Pumpkin Delight just brings extra joy, which makes it a dessert worth eating!
