Ingredients

Pumpkin Layer:

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée
  • 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cake Topping:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare Pumpkin Layer: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth. Pour into the prepared dish.
  3. Add Cake Topping: Sprinkle dry cake mix over the pumpkin layer. Drizzle melted butter on top. Add chopped pecans if desired.
  4. Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • For a different twist, use spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix.
