Pumpkin Pie Cake Recipe is ridiculously simple to make plus it tastes just like pumpkin pie! We love it. I especially love that it starts from a yellow cake mix because sometimes I just don’t have the time to bake from scratch. To the cake mix we add a few simple ingredients like butter, pumpkin puree, eggs, cinnamon, brown sugar, and pecans!
Why we love our Pumpkin Pie Cake Recipe
The holidays are a time for gathering together as family so from Thanksgiving to New Years we have all kinds of festive feasting happening. I love this recipe because it’s simple to make but tastes like I put hours of work into it!
All the love and not so much work sometimes is a good thing at the holidays!

Helpful baking tips for higher elevations
- If you live 3,000 feet above sea level or more it is considered high elevation and may take longer to cook/bake.
- Adjustments are needed for 5000+ feet and above:
- Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon, decrease 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.
- Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 2 tablespoons.
- Increase liquid: for each cup, add 2 to 4 tablespoons.
- Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.
- Check if it is done a little early.
- This takes some trial and error to get it right for you.
