Equipment

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (29-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1 package gluten-free white cake mix
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • Chopped pecans for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and pumpkin spice. Whisk until smooth and spread evenly into the baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the cake mix and melted butter until the texture resembles coarse sand.
  • Sprinkle the buttered cake mix over the pumpkin filling, pressing lightly to ensure the filling is fully covered.
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing. Garnish with pecans if desired.

Notes

- Use gluten-free cake mix to ensure the dessert is gluten-free.
- Yellow cake mix is an acceptable substitute for white cake mix.
- Mixing butter directly into the cake mix prevents uneven cooking that can occur when butter is poured separately.
- Optional toppings include ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, or additional pumpkin spice.
