Ingredients
- Crunchy Mix:
- A generous cup of rich brown sugar, tightly packed
- A delightful ¾ cup of finely chopped pecans
- A quarter cup of butter, beautifully melted
- Two tablespoons of versatile all-purpose flour
- Two teaspoons of fragrant cinnamon
- A hint of ground cloves, just half a teaspoon
- A touch of nutmeg, half a teaspoon
- Batter Blend:
- A sizable package of yellow cake mix, weighing 15.25 ounces
- One cup of luscious pumpkin puree
- Three eggs for richness
- A half cup of water to bind it all together
- Sweet Drizzle:
- Half a cup of confectioners' sugar for sweetness
- A quarter cup of milk, or more as desired
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it, ensuring easy release later on.
Step 2
For the delightful crunch layer, combine brown sugar, pecans, butter, flour, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a bowl. This mixture will add a tasty texture to your dessert.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, and water until the batter is velvety smooth. Carefully pour half of this mixture into the baking dish, then generously sprinkle the crunch mixture on top. Finish by pouring the remaining batter over the crunchy layer.
Step 4
Pop your creation into the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, typically around 30 to 35 minutes. This step fills your kitchen with a wonderful aroma, so enjoy the anticipation!
Step 5
While your cake is baking, whisk together confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl. Adjust the milk quantity until you reach a perfect drizzling consistency. Once the cake is done, generously drizzle this sweet glaze over the top for a finishing touch.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Start by selecting a fresh pumpkin to use in your recipe. Choose one that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color.
- 2. Once you have your pumpkin, prep it by cutting it in half and removing the seeds and fibrous strands. You can save the seeds for roasting later!
