Pumpkin Crunch Cake
Description
This Pumpkin Crunch Cake starts by combining pumpkin puree with evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to make a smooth, custard-like batter. The runny batter is poured into a greased baking dish, forming the cake's creamy foundation.
A layer of dry yellow cake mix is evenly sprinkled over the pumpkin batter and gently pressed down, which creates a textured crust as it bakes. Chopped pecans are spread on top, then drizzled with melted butter to form a crunchy, nutty topping.
Baked for an hour or more until set and golden, the cake develops a distinct layered structure with a tender spiced pumpkin center and a crisp, buttery pecan crust. Serving it with whipped topping or ice cream adds an additional creamy element that complements the warm spices.
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk

- 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping frozen
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl combine pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin spice, and salt. Mix well (the batter will be runny).
- Grease a 9x13 baking dish and pour in the batter. Sprinkle the yellow cake mix on top of the batter. Gently pat the cake mix down completely covering the batter.
