Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
