Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup evaporated milk
1 box (15.25 oz) spice cake mix
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup optional add-ins (chopped pecans, chocolate chips, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the spice cake mix evenly over the pumpkin layer—do not stir.
Optionally, sprinkle nuts or chocolate chips over the cake mix layer.
Drizzle melted butter evenly over the top.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled with toppings of your choice.
Notes
Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra spice kick.
Great when served with whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel drizzle.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
