Print Recipe
- 15 oz pumpkin 1 can
- 12 oz evaporated milk 1 can
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice or 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1 box cake mix white or yellow cake
- 1 1/2 cups pecans chopped
- 3/4 cup butter melted
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving
If you’re making one 9″ x 13″ dish of dessert….
Spray dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour pumpkin mixture into 9″ x 13″ dish.
Sprinkle cake mix (dry) onto of pumpkin layer.
Then sprinkle chopped pecans all over.
Pour melted butter over top.
Bake 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, and dessert is a nice golden brown.
Cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
If you’re making this dessert in jars….
Lightly spray 12, wide mouth 1/2 pint jars with non-stick cooking spray.
Use a measuring cup to put about 1/2 cup pumpkin mixture into each jar.
Sprinkle two rounded tablespoon of dry cake mix on top of pumpkin layer, in each jar.
Then sprinkle on one rounded tablespoon of chopped pecans in each jar.
Pour one tablespoon of melted butter on top (of each jar).
Bake jars on a large baking sheet (so they are easy to put in and out of the oven) for about 40 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center of a jar comes out clean, and dessert is golden brown.
Cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
When I baked mine using these measurements they filled the jars fully when baked, and as they cooled they shrunk down just a bit, a perfect amount of space to close the jar.
