Instructions

Prepare the Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to ensure easy serving later.
Make the Pecan Layer
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, packed brown sugar, caramel topping, salted caramel topping, and melted butter until smooth. Fold in the pecan halves, making sure they are evenly coated. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out so the pecans are evenly distributed.
Prepare the Topping
In another bowl, mix the butter pecan cake mix with the melted butter until it forms a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the pecan layer.
Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve your Pecan Pie Dump Cake warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
