Ingredients

- 1 tsp vegetable oil for greasing the pan
- 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
- 12 fl oz evaporated milk
- 0.6 cup beaten eggs about 3 large eggs
- 0.67 cup granulated sugar
- 1.75 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 0.5 tsp fine salt

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
- Whisk pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, beaten eggs, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin layer. Do not stir.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the dry mix, covering as much surface as possible.
- Scatter pecans over the top, then dust with brown sugar for extra crunch.
- Bake until the top is deeply golden and the center is set, 50–55 minutes.
- Cool at least 20 minutes to help it set. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Swap pecans with walnuts or skip nuts for a nut-free version. Add a caramel drizzle or a dollop of whipped cream before serving. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days; warm slices briefly in the microwave to revive the texture.
