There are many, many pumpkin recipes in my archives, click HERE to see them in all their glory. Though there is a plethora of pumpkin recipes to be had on my site, I couldn’t let much of the season pass without jumping on the pumpkin bandwagon with a new fresh recipe to share with you all. And man, is it a good one!

This Pumpkin Crunch Cake recipe has been floating around the universe for quite some time, many of you may have made something similar in the past. It’s super easy, using minimal ingredients and a simple assembly (love that). The bottom layer tastes like sweet pumpkin pie, the top is crunchy and almost stressel like in texture. Topped with some freshly whipped cream or cool whip, this is a baby is a sure fire win, friends.  Put it on your list as a must make this fall.  Hope you love it!

Let me show you how to make it happen!

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Into a small mixing bowl combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin, 1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk, 3 eggs, 1 1/2 C sugar, 1 Tb pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk it together.

3. Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and pour the pumpkin mixture inside.

4. Grab 1 box of Butter Golden Cake mix (yellow or white would work as well).

Carefully sprinkle it on the pumpkin filling.

5. Pour 1 C melted butter over the top of the cake mix, drizzling it carefully and as evenly as possible.
6. Bake (uncovered) for 25 minutes.

7. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle 1 C chopped pecans evenly over the top of the cake.

Cover it with foil and return it to the oven to bake for an additional 30-35 minutes.

8. Remove from the oven when the top is crispy and golden and the filling has set up. Allow it to cool to room to temperature. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Serve chilled with freshly whipped cream, or a nice dollop of cool whip.
