Pumpkin Crunch Cake
Description
This layered dessert starts with a mixture of pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt poured into a greased 9x13-inch pan. The dry yellow cake mix is sprinkled evenly on top, followed by chopped pecans and drizzled melted unsalted butter.
Baking at 350°F causes the pumpkin mixture to set as a custard below while the cake mix and pecans create a crunchy crust on top. The combination of smooth pumpkin and buttery crunch provides contrasting textures and rich fall flavors.
Pumpkin Crunch Cake is typically served in squares, complemented well by vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to balance the spice and buttery richness.
Leftover cake can be stored for up to four days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Variations in cake mix flavor can slightly alter the profile, but the layered method remains consistent.
