Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, spreading it out into an even layer. Do not stir.
Melt the butter and drizzle it evenly over the dry cake mix layer.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly across the top of the cake.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to fully set.
