Ingredients
- 15 oz solid-pack pumpkin
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 box butter pecan cake mix (e.g., Betty Crocker, 15.25 oz)
- 1 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the solid-pack pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well until smooth. Pour this mixture into the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the butter pecan cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix. Sprinkle the chopped pecans and brown sugar over the top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Scoop out generous portions and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For an even more buttery flavor, use cold butter slices instead of melted butter.
- Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
- You can substitute the butter pecan cake mix with yellow cake mix and add an extra ½ cup of chopped pecans.
