- 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree
- 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 8 oz. container whipped topping frozen
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin spice, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix until combined - it will be runny.
Pour batter into a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle cake mix on top of the batter. Gently pat the cake mix down completely covering the batter.
Spread the chopped pecans over the cake mix layer in an even layer, then drizzle it with melted butter.
Bake for 60-80 minutes or until done. Allow the Thanksgiving cake to stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream or ice cream.
