Ingredients

• 15 oz Canned pumpkin puree
• 12 oz Evaporated milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 3 Eggs
• 2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 box Yellow cake mix (boxed)
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 0 Whipped cream (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, making sure it covers the surface completely.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix, ensuring even coverage.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the buttered cake mix layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set (a knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean).

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. The dessert can also be chilled in the refrigerator if you prefer it cold.

Step 9

Slice into squares or scoop servings and top with whipped cream before serving, if desired.
