Not only that, but this recipe is flexible. You can use less sugar, use more cake mix, take out the pecans/almonds, or adjust the recipe in any way to your liking.

What Should You Eat With Pumpkin Crunch Cake?

We recommend you top your cake off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a big dollop of whipped topping! But the topping options are endless. Cream cheese frosting, caramel sauce, and maple syrup go perfectly with this cake.

How to Store Pumpkin Crunch Cake?

Always keep your pumpkin crunch cake in the fridge. This cake should last a few days.

Pumpkin Crunch Cake Recipe

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat the pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, and spices until well mixed. Pour into the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the cake mix and pecans on top
  • Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes. The top should be browned and the custard should be set.

Serve while it’s warm. If you want to eat it while it’s cold, store it in the refrigerator for a few hours. Pumpkin crunch cake is a great after-dinner dessert and is also perfect to eat in the morning for breakfast.

Can I make my own Pumpkin Pie Spice?

Yes, you sure can. I have a really great and simple recipe to make pumpkin pie spice yourself. Sometimes it can be hard to find in the supermarket and it is much less expensive to make it yourself.
