Step 4:
Place in the oven to bake for 50-60 minutes, depending on your oven, or until the top is golden brown and the Pumpkin Dump Cake layer is set. To test for doneness, poke a toothpick through the middle; it should come out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs.

Allow the cake to cool slightly, then serve. Serve it warm or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if you want to lean toward decadence.
