Instructions

1- Preheat the Oven:

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2- Prepare the Bundt Pan:

Spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray to ensure the cake doesn't stick.
Add sliced unsalted butter, chopped pecans, and brown sugar to the bottom of the pan.

3- Melt and Caramelize:

Place the prepared Bundt pan into the preheated oven for about 5 minutes.
Allow the butter to melt and the brown sugar to caramelize.

4- Make the Cake Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly.
Add the oil and milk, mixing until perfectly combined.
Stir in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice, ensuring a smooth and consistent mixture.
Finally, incorporate the yellow cake mix and blend well without lumps.

5- Combine and Bake:

Remove the Bundt pan from the oven.
Pour the prepared cake batter over the melted butter, pecans, and brown sugar in the pan.

6- Bake the Cake:

Return the pan to the oven and bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
