Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Potato Dump Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.
Pour the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the sweet potato layer without stirring.
If using nuts, sprinkle them over the cake mix, then drizzle melted butter evenly on top.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
