Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tub whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it evenly over the layer of cake mix. Be sure to cover as much of the surface as possible.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly across the top of the butter layer for added crunch and flavor.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!
