Equipment
- 9*13 inch pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups (15oz can) pure pumpkin puree
- 1 12oz can Evaporated Milk
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract at room temperature
- 2 tsps pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans toasted
- 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
- 1 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9*13 inch baking dish or spray with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, light brown sugar pumpkin pie spice, ground ginger and salt until well combined. Pour into prepared pan and spread to form an even layer.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans on top of pumpkin mixture.
- Sprinkle dry cake mix over the pecans.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over dry cake mix covering as much of the cake mix as possible. Top with more chopped pecans.
- Bake the cake for about 45-50 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and on top. Cool slightly then serve warm, at room temperature, or cold. Best enjoyed warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
- Cake Mix Variations: Yellow cake mix is classic, but spice cake mix enhances the fall flavor. Chocolate cake mix works too if you want to mix it up.
- Evaporated Milk Substitute: If you don’t have evaporated milk, use a mixture of equal parts milk and heavy cream.
- Butter Coverage: Ensure the melted butter is poured evenly over the entire layer of dry cake mix. This is what creates the crispy, streusel-like topping as it bakes.
- Baking Pan Size: Using a smaller baking pan will make the cake thicker and increase the baking time
