Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned pumpkin puree
- 12 oz Evaporated milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 3 Eggs
- 2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 box Yellow cake mix (boxed)
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- Whipped cream (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, making sure it covers the surface completely.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the buttered cake mix layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set (a knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean).
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. The dessert can also be chilled in the refrigerator if you prefer it cold.
Slice into squares or scoop servings and top with whipped cream before serving, if desired.
