Ingredients:
18 oz canned pumpkin (or fresh equivalent)
1 box yellow cake mix (for a two-layer cake)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted margarine or butter
13 oz can evaporated milk (ensure it’s not sweetened condensed)
3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
3 eggs
3 tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
Combine Wet Ingredients: Begin by whisking together the eggs and milk. Add in the pumpkin, sugar, and cinnamon, mixing until the ensemble is smoothly blended.
Prepare the Pan: Pour your well-mixed ingredients into a generously greased 9x13 pan, creating a solid base for your cake.
Sprinkle the Magic: Delicately sprinkle the entire box of dry cake mix over your wet mixture, ensuring an even layer that will bake into a delicious, crusty topping.
Drizzle and Decorate: Gracefully drizzle the melted margarine or butter over the cake mix layer. Follow this by generously sprinkling your chosen chopped nuts atop for an extra crunch.
Bake to Perfection: Place your concoction into a preheated oven at 350 degrees. Allow it to bake blissfully for 50-60 minutes, or until it achieves a perfectly baked consistency.
