Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned pumpkin puree
- ½ cup whole milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1 yellow cake mix (recommended brand: Betty Crocker)
- 2 cups pecans chopped
For the whipped cream topping:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Grease and flour a 9x13 baking dish or pan. Set the pan aside.
- Place the pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl. Use a spatula or whisk to combine them well.
- Pour the wet ingredients mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle dry cake mix over the wet ingredients layer.
- Sprinkle pecans over the dry cake mix.
- Pour melted butter evenly over the pecan layer.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the cake is set in center.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- When ready to serve, whip the cream on high speed of an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and beat 1 more minute. Top individual servings with whipped cream. (Alternately, top with purchased whipped cream or whipped topping.)

Notes
- After the cake is completely cool, you should store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
- This cake is best made at least a day before you plan to serve it. I like to serve it at room temperature, but you can also rewarm individual servings in the microwave if you like.
- For those with nut allergies, you can always leave out the nuts or substitute roughly crumbled cookies such as graham crackers or Biscoff as a replacement for the nuts.
