Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Mixture

  • Two 15 ounce cans pumpkin
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • One 12 ounce can evaporated milk

Topping

  • 1 box spice cake mix, 15-16 ounce size (or yellow cake mix with 2 additional teaspoons pumpkin pie spice)
  • 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, sliced into thin pats
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 9” x 13” baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix pumpkin ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the two cans of pumpkin, 3 eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a 12-ounce can of evaporated milk. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Pour pumpkin base: Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it to cover the bottom.
  4. Add dry cake mix layer: Evenly sprinkle the dry spice cake mix (or yellow cake mix with added pumpkin pie spice) on top of the pumpkin mixture, creating an even layer.
  5. Distribute butter patties: Place thin pats of butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer to ensure a rich, moist topping as it bakes.
  6. Top with pecans: Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the buttered cake mix layer for added crunch and flavor.
  7. Bake the cobbler: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool before serving, which helps the flavors to set and makes it easier to cut.

Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger pumpkin spice flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon additional pumpkin pie spice to the pumpkin mixture.
  • You can substitute walnuts for pecans if desired.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • This recipe is easy to double for larger gatherings by using a bigger pan.
