Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish using nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Use a spoon to ensure even coverage.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the buttered cake mix for added crunch.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally paired with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
