Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare oven at 350°F and coat a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Create a silky pumpkin base by whisking together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until perfectly blended and smooth.
  3. Gently transfer the lustrous pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
  4. Liberally scatter dry cake mix over the pumpkin layer, allowing it to rest without mixing or stirring.
  5. Sprinkle rolled oats uniformly across the cake mix, creating a textured, rustic topping.
  6. Generously drizzle melted butter over the entire surface, ensuring complete coverage for a rich, golden finish.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
