Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1 can (12 ounces / 340 milliliters) evaporated milk
Sweeteners and Spices:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare oven at 350°F and coat a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Create a silky pumpkin base by whisking together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until perfectly blended and smooth.
- Gently transfer the lustrous pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Liberally scatter dry cake mix over the pumpkin layer, allowing it to rest without mixing or stirring.
- Sprinkle rolled oats uniformly across the cake mix, creating a textured, rustic topping.
- Generously drizzle melted butter over the entire surface, ensuring complete coverage for a rich, golden finish.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, watching for a deep golden-brown crust and checking with a toothpick for complete doneness.
- Allow the dessert to cool slightly, letting the flavors meld and settle before serving with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Swap cake mix for gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions and ensure everyone can enjoy this delightful dessert.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts on top for extra crunch and nutty flavor, creating a more textured and interesting dessert experience.
- Reduce sugar content by using a sugar-free cake mix or replacing some sugar with natural sweeteners like stevia for a lighter version.
- Enhance pumpkin spice profile by adding a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom, bringing deeper warmth and complexity to the cake’s flavor.
