Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 ounce each) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (12 ounce) evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 box (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth.
3. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture. Drizzle the melted butter over the top and sprinkle with chopped pecans if using.
4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the pumpkin layer to prevent a tough texture.
Use the full cup of melted butter for a crumbly topping.
Check for doneness with a toothpick.
Let the cake cool completely before serving for the best texture.
Experiment with toppings like vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
