Equipment

  • oven
  • 9x13 cake pan

Ingredients

Pumpkin Mixture

  • 15 ounces canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix or filling)
  • 3/4 cup lite coconut milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Topping

  • 1 box yellow cake mix See notes for suggestion if vegan
  • 1 cup vegan butter melted
  • 2 cups pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Prepare a 9x13 cake pan with cooking spray.

Pumpkin Mixture

  • Mix together the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Pour into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top evenly.

Topping

  • Chop pecans if not already chopped.
  • Melt the vegan butter in the micorwave or on the stovetop on low.
  • Sprinkle the cake mix evenly on top of the pumpkin mixture.
  • Sprinkle the pecans on top of the dry cake.
  • Drizzle the melted vegan butter evenly over the cake mix and pecans.

Bake and Serve

  • Put in the preheated oven and bake for about an hour. The top will be golden brown when finished.
  • Take out of the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
  • Serving suggestion:
    The cake square will be very soft and not really maintain its shape well unless cooled completely in the refrigerator. I prefer to scoop mine out and serve in a bowl with vanilla vegan ice cream.
