Ingredients
Scale
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 (18.25 ounce) box spice cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until fully combined. Pour this pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the dry spice cake mix evenly over the top of the pumpkin layer. Do not stir.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer.
If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. The top will be golden brown.
Let the cake cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream topping.
Notes
You can prepare this dessert up to 2 days ahead. Cover the cooled cake tightly with plastic wrap and store it at room temperature.
Leftovers store well covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For a richer flavor, use a yellow cake mix instead of spice cake mix.
