Ingredients

  • 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 box yellow cake mix see note
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, and spices until well combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the top with yellow cake mix. I prefer a half of a box, but use more if you want it to be very cakey.
  • Sprinkle with the chopped pecans.
  • Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the custard is set.
  • Serve warm or cold. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

For a more cake like consistency, use the full box of cake mix. 
If you'd like to make your own spice mix, use 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, 1/4 tsp. ginger, and a pinch of cloves.
