Ingredients

• 15 ounces Canned pumpkin puree
• 12 ounces Evaporated milk
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 box Yellow cake mix
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and well-mixed.

Step 3

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.

Step 5

Melt the butter and drizzle it evenly over the top of the dry cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the surface as possible.

Step 6

If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top to give the cake a crunchy texture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. The filling will thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
