Ingredients
- 16 ounce pumpkin puree canned, not pie mix
- 12 ounce evaporated milk canned
- 3 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp cloves ground
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg fresh grated
- 15 ounce yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup butter melted
- Sparkling Sugar for garnish, optional
maple whipped cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg fresh grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk the first 10 ingredients together (pumpkin through nutmeg) until smooth and pour into your pan.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin in the pan.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the cake mix.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the surface of the pan.
- Bake the cake for about 50-55 minutes, or until golden and just starting to pull away from the edges of the pan. Let cool on a rack before slicing if you want neater slices, but I love it warm out of the oven. Sprinkle with sparkling sugar if you like.
- Whip the cream with the maple syrup and nutmeg, and serve with the cake.

Notes
- Homemade Cake Mix Version
- If you'd like to try an all homemade version, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Be sure to whisk thoroughly. This will substitute for the boxed cake mix. I also recommend adding a teaspoon of vanilla to the pumpkin mixture.
