Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and well-combined.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, creating a sandy layer.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, covering as much dry mix as possible.
- Sprinkle chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups over the top, pressing a few gently into the cake mix layer.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set and no longer jiggly.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Don’t skip the cooling time; it allows the pumpkin layer to set. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free yellow cake mix. For a chocolate lover’s version, swap the yellow cake mix for chocolate fudge cake mix. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
