Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Pumpkin puree
- 12 oz Evaporated milk
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 15.25 oz Yellow cake mix
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Use a spoon or spatula to gently spread it if needed.
If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
