Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat cake mix, oil, eggs, sour cream, pumpkin and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the pumpkin pie spice with electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
  • Spread half of the batter in the prepared pan (about 2 1/4 cups).
  • In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, pecans and remaining 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice; sprinkle evenly over batter in pan. Carefully pour and spread remaining batter evenly over brown sugar mixture.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 38 to 42 minutes or until the cake is a deep golden brown color and/or a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove cake from oven.
  • In another small bowl, stir powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until thin enough to spread over cake. Carefully spread powdered sugar mixture over warm cake. Cool completely (takes about 1 hour). Store covered.

Notes

  • If you have any left, cover the cake and store on your counter until you are ready for your next piece!
