For a quick keto holiday dessert that doesn’t require a lot of fuss, this keto pumpkin dump cake is your solution. It combines flavors of pumpkin pie with a keto cake in the middle and a crunchy pecan streusel topping. And separates them into 3 layers as the cake bakes!!!
Dump Cakes are a delicious twist on a traditional cake where you don’t have to bring out a bunch of bowls or utensils to make your cake. Everything is basically made in one bowl (although I do recommend making the pumpkin components in a separate bowl so that we can easily mix them without messing up the parchment lining.)
Using a few ingredients for a pumpkin pie base layer, like eggs, pumpkin puree, cream and sweetener, it is poured into a square baking dish then keto cake mix is dusted on top of the pumpkin along with melted butter and pecans.
Once baked, the cake mix bakes into the pumpkin layer to form a light, spongy gluten free cake on top with a pumpkin custard layer on the bottom.
Top with whipped cream or sugar free ice cream!

Keto Pumpkin Dump Cake Ingredients
15 oz can pumpkin puree - 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup nut milk
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar-free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 (9oz) package King Arthur Keto Cake Mix
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Keto Pumpkin Dump Cake Directions
-
Prepare baking dish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray cooking oil into either a square baking dish or a 9x13 baking dish and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
Quick Tip
A square baking dish will yield a taller cake with more pronounced layers. -
Make pumpkin pie filling
In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, nut milk, eggs, sweetener and pumpkin pie spice. Pour into prepared baking dish.
Ingredients
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup nut milk
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Quick Tip
Can use all heavy cream (1 cup) instead of nut milk. -
Dump the cake mix
Evenly sprinkle keto cake mix on top of pumpkin mixture.
Ingredients
- 1 box keto cake mix
Quick Tip
Don't mix the cake mix into the pumpkin pie filling. It needs to sit on top as a dry layer. The cake will get moisture from the pumpkin pie layer as it bakes. -
Streusel topping
Drizzle melted butter on top of cake mix and top with chopped pecans.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Quick Tip
Don't worry about trying to get melted butter to cover the entire areas of dry cake mix. These dry cake areas will help to create the streusel topping. -
Bake
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes if using a 9x13 rectangle baking dish or 50-60 minutes if using a square baking dish or until cake is spongy on top but not jiggly when you move it. Remove from the oven. Let cool for a few minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Quick Tip
If the pecans start to look toasty, cover the cake with aluminum foil while baking.
What is the best sugar for this recipe for baking
I used King Arthur Baking Sugar Alternative. You can use any as long as it measures cup for cup with regular sugar.
Swerve worked great!
I used Lakanto monk fruit sweetener(golden). Came out really good!!
Loved how easy this was to make and how delicious it came out. Even my husband, who does not like artificial sweetener ate this cake. I used Swerve Granular as the sweetener. Delicious!
Very good recipe! I couldn’t find the King Arthur Keto cake mix so I used Pillsbury Keto cake mix, worked just fine. I used allulose as my sugar substitute. When I make it again, I won’t use an 8 x 8 square pan as it was to thick for my liking and when cut into 9 pieces, it’s too rich. This is a definite make again recipe, glad I tried it. Thanks for sharing!
