Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box (15 oz) spice cake mix
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 can (12 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare pumpkin mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This creamy base will infuse the cake with rich flavor.
- Layer the ingredients: Evenly sprinkle the spice cake mix across the bottom of your crock pot. Pour the pumpkin mixture gently on top, spreading it evenly without stirring to maintain distinct layers.
- Initial cooking on high: Set the crock pot to high and cook the layers for 1 hour. This activates the cake mix and begins the setting process.
- Cook on low heat: Switch the crock pot to low and cook for another hour. This allows the cake to continue setting gently without burning.
- Combine layers and continue cooking: After two hours of cooking, thoroughly stir the cake and pumpkin mixture until evenly blended. Cover and cook on low for an additional 1 to 2 hours, checking the texture every 30 minutes. Continue cooking until the cake is set to your preference.
Notes
- Do not stir the layers before cooking to achieve the unique cake texture.
- Use a gentle touch when checking the cake’s consistency to avoid breaking it apart.
- Adjust crock pot cooking times slightly as slow cooker temperatures can vary.
- For easier serving, allow the cake to cool slightly before scooping.
- Optional: Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
