Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk together until smooth.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix layer, making sure to coat as much of it as possible.
Evenly distribute the chopped pecans over the buttered cake mix.
Bake the dessert in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the dessert to set.
Cut into squares and serve the dessert warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
