his Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler is a rich, spiced dessert with a soft pumpkin cake on top and a gooey caramel-like sauce underneath. Topped with crunchy pecans, it’s the perfect cozy fall treat. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • :
  • For the Pumpkin Cake Layer:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • For the Hot Water Mixture:
  • 1 1/2 cups very hot water

Instructions

  • :
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare the cake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients until combined. Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix chopped pecans, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  • Add hot water: Slowly pour very hot water over the entire dish (do not stir). This will create a gooey sauce as it bakes.
  • Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is set on top but still soft underneath. The cobbler will have a pudding-like sauce at the bottom.
  • Cool slightly & serve: Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

Notes

  • :
  • For extra crunch, toast the pecans before adding them.
  • Love caramel? Drizzle caramel sauce on top before serving.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
