Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the surface of the cake mix. Use a spoon or spatula to cover any dry spots if necessary.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pumpkin layer is set.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Top with whipped cream if desired before serving.
