Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans pure pumpkin puree
  • 4 eggs
  • 12 oz evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon pumpkin spice seasoning
  • 1 package yellow cake mix

Toppings

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup butter (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin spice seasoning, eggs, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully blended.
  3. Add cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the entire package of yellow cake mix over the pumpkin mixture without stirring it in.
  4. Add pecans: Spread the chopped pecans evenly over the cake mix layer for added crunch and flavor.
  5. Add butter slices: Slice the butter and distribute the pieces evenly on top of the pecans and cake mix layers to create a rich, moist texture while baking.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour until the top is golden and the cake is set.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. It is especially delicious when served warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
