Ingredients

• 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
• 0.5 tsp ground ginger
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 0 whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk together until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

Step 5

Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix layer, making sure to coat as much of it as possible.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the chopped pecans over the buttered cake mix.

Step 7

Bake the dessert in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the dessert to set.

Step 9

Cut into squares and serve the dessert warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
