Welcome back everyone. It's still fall
and we've got a delicious recipe for you
today. It's the perfect dessert for your
Thanksgiving table or just bring to a
potluck to a church function. Just have
it in your house.
It's called a pecan pie dump cake. We're
going to take two good old classics, a
dump cake and a pecan pie. Mash them
together with only seven ingredients.
One is the box cake mix. And then we
have pecans, eggs, butter, brown sugar,
light corn syrup, and vanilla. All
right, you guys. You ready? We're going
to start with that kind of that custard
mixture first. Get that one going.
In a medium bowl, we're going to crack
in four eggs. Now, I brought these to
room temperature.
You do that, it keeps everything from
seizing up together on it. Makes it a
little more smoother.
That was a skinny egg.
We need that
chicken.
We need that after the holidays, right?
And four. Boop.
All right. Get that out.
It tried to hide. There we go.
Take a whisk. Break them up a little
bit.
That'll give them a head start.
We're going to add in one cup of light
corn syrup.
I love this tool in the kitchen.
and then just push it on out.
Get a knife.
We're going to add in one cup of brown
sugar. Make sure it's packed.
I've got half a cup, so I'll go in two
times.
This makes the nice base for a pecan
pie.
And then we're going to add in
one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
All right, we're going to blend this all
together until nice and smooth and well
incorporated.
Woo! Get in there.
This is about as hard as a recipe will
get.
Rest will be easy.
There we go. That's what I'm talking
about right there.
All right, we need to get our baking
dish.
You're going to need a 9 by13 for this
recipe and some cooking spray.
We're going to spray it nice and evenly.
Keep the cake from sticking. There we
go.
All right.
Does that happen to y'all?
We're going to take one box of classic
yellow cake mix. It's just in the powder
form. We're going to open it. And then
what we want to do is place half of it
in the bottom of our baking dish just as
is. Do not prepare it. Now remember,
just half. Keep an eye on it.
We'll smooth it out. There we go.
All right. We'll save that for the rest.
Now, what we're going to do is take half
of that egg mixture with the brown sugar
in it. That custard we made right there.
Take the whisk out for right now.
Now, we're just going to place half of
this all over the cake.
You can kind of judge that.
It's not going to have to be perfect.
All right. Now, I have one cup of
chopped pecans, and we're going to take
half of that and sprinkle it on top of
our mixture.
Now, Thomas loves a good pecan pie.
Yes, I do.
For the fall, Thanksgiving, there better
be a pecan pie.
If you don't want a fist fight, there
better be one.
He loves cake, too. So, check out this
recipe here. He's going to love it.
We're going to find out. All right. I
think I'm going to save the rest. That's
good right there.
Now, we're going to take the rest of the
cake powder
right here. We're going to sprinkle that
on top.
All right. We're going to smooth that
out a little bit. Don't pack it in
because you want everything to kind of
go into it. All right. Make sure you
kind of stir up the rest of the mixture
here. And we're going to drizzle it all
over this layer of the cake mix.
Y'all, this is going to be a good one.
I'm going to make something different
this year
for sure.
See, if you drizzle it, you get it in
more places. Just keep stirring in
there.

I love the holidays, you guys. We got a
lot of stuff happening. We're super
excited.
Don't worry, it's going to swim in
there.
It's going to be like magic, magic,
magic, magic.
We're going to take the rest of the
pecans. We're going to put it on top.
Just sprinkle them on.
Now, if you're new to dump cakes, do not
mix any of this. Whatever we have going
on right now. Don't go in and want to
swirl it all around and all of that.
You're going to leave it just like it
is.
We're going to take two sticks of
butter, which will equal one cup. We're
going to place it into a microwave safe
bowl. We're going to melt it
and we're going to come back.
Isn't that the best part of a dump cake?
The butter.
All right, let's get that melting. There
it is.
All right, let's drizzle that all on
top.
I'm using a fork to help me get it where
I want it because we definitely want to
cover up any of the powder that we can
find.
Now, if you're a stickler to the
oldfashioned way, you can cut your
butter into thin pads and lay it all
over your cake.
It's going to take a while in your oven.
I've got it preheated at 350
degrees. We're going to bake this for
about 50 to 60 minutes. That's 50 to 1
hour. You want to make sure that it's
nice and golden across the top and that
the cake is fully cooked through. And
also, you want the egg mixture to be
cooked through also. Guys, we're going
to be back. We're going to cool this
down a little bit and we're going to
give it a try for you.
All right, you guys. Look at that.
Doesn't it look scrumptious? It's got a
nice crust on top. Now, it came out of
the oven. We cooled it down pretty much
all the way. It's a little warm on the
bottom. Then I took a knife and I just
went around the edges. We're going in
cuz it smells amazing.
Look at that. Scrumptious. Scrumptious.
Scrumptious. That's the bottom of it.
We're going to put it on a plate.
And I'm going to give that a try for
you.
Look at those layers. Oh, it's so soft.
That's a fork drop. Mhm. That is
excellent.
I can't describe it, but my gosh, it
tastes like a pecan pie with a cake in
it. It is so delicious. It is
scrumptious. Wow. I love the topping.
It's kind of a crispy topping. Nice and
moist on the inside. And you got those
delicious pecans in there.
Wow. Two thumbs up on this one, you
guys.
All right.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone this
month. And if you're making this one,
let me know.
That rocks.
I'm gonna make one for Thanksgiving.
Yeah. All right, you guys. I'll see
y'all on the next episode. Bye.
