Equipment

  • 9 X 13 pan

Ingredients 

  • 15.25 oz ounce box yellow cake mix spice cake mix can be substituted
  • 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree
  • 12 ounces canned evaporated milk
  • 3 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup butter salted or unsalted, cut into about 32 thin slices

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray or butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together by hand the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, lightly beaten eggs, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Gently, sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top. Do not stir.
  • Spread the chopped pecans evenly over the cake mix.
  • Lay the butter slices evenly over the top, covering as much of the dry cake mix as possible.
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until golden and bubbling. The center will still jiggle slightly but will be mostly set. Watch the pecans during the last few minutes so they don't burn (cover with foil if needed).
  • Cool for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with whipped cream, marshmallow whipped cream, or whipped topping. This is also delicious with vanilla or butter pecan ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.
