Ingredients
For the Cake:
-
1 (18 1/4-ounce) box yellow cake mix
-
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin, solid pack
-
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
-
4 large eggs
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil, such as corn oil or canola
-
2 teaspoons cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
-
1/4 cup whole milk, or half-and-half
For the Topping:
-
6 tablespoons butter, melted
-
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed light
-
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
-
2/3 cup sweetened coconut, flaked
-
4 tablespoons cream, or half-and-half, or evaporated milk
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
-
Heat the oven to 350 F.
-
In a mixing bowl combine the cake mix, pumpkin, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, the eggs, vegetable oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 cup of milk or half-and-half.
-
Beat on medium speed, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl frequently, until smooth and blended.
-
Beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
-
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the cake springs back lightly when touched with a finger.
-
Meanwhile, combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until blended.
-
Spread the topping over the warm cake and broil about 4 to 6 inches from the heat source for about 3 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and browned.
Glass Bakeware Warning
Do not use glass bakeware when broiling or when a recipe calls to add liquid to a hot pan, as glass may explode. Even if it states oven-safe or heat resistant, tempered glass products can, and do, break occasionally.
