Cooking Secrets
- Chill the pudding well before serving to help it set properly.
- Toast any nuts or crumbs beforehand to enhance their crunch and aroma.
Step 1
Gently heat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, then lightly dust it with flour. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, pecans, flour, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted margarine and stir until everything is well combined.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, water, canola oil, pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice. Use an electric mixer on low speed to bring everything together, scraping down the sides as needed. Then increase the speed to medium and beat until the batter is smooth and creamy, about three minutes.
Step 3
Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar and pecan mixture over the top. Then spread the remaining batter over that, smoothing it out, and finish by sprinkling the rest of the brown sugar mixture on top.
Step 4
Pop it in the oven and bake for around 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool a bit before serving so the pudding sets up nicely.
