Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and evaporated milk until smooth. If using, whisk in pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin layer. Do not stir.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer, covering as much as possible.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges. If browning too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
- Let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
Notes
For a crunchier top, dot cold butter cubes over the cake mix instead of using melted butter. Letting the cake rest overnight in the fridge improves flavor. Use a serrated knife for clean slices.
