Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture. Do not stir.
Melt the butter in a microwave or small saucepan, then evenly drizzle it over the layer of cake mix.
If using chopped pecans, sprinkle them evenly across the top for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the pumpkin layer should come out mostly clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 20–30 minutes before serving. This will help it set further.
Optionally, serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
