How to Make Pumpkin Up Side Down Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x11 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Mix well.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Gently mix until the butter is incorporated but the mixture is still slightly crumbly.
  5. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture.
  6. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  8. Once completely cool, spread 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping evenly over the top.
