Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, eggs, and cinnamon until smooth and well combined. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the pumpkin mixture. Gently pat the chopped nuts into the surface of the cake mix. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the nuts and cake mix. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. (60-70 minutes)

05

Step

Once cooled, gently lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until well combined. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Cut into squares and serve. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, toast the nuts before chopping.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the frosting.
This cake is best served chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together.
