Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ cup (120ml) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ¼ cup (60ml) whole milk
- ¼ cup (60ml) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup (240ml) hot water
- 1 cup (110g) pecans, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch baking dish. This recipe works beautifully in a ceramic dish, which helps distribute heat evenly for the perfect texture contrast between cake and sauce.
- Step 2: Mix the Batter In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—you’ll have a thick, luscious batter that smells like fall heaven! Spread this mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
- Step 3: Create the Magic Layer In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and brown sugar, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter. Don’t stir it in! This sugar layer will help create that wonderful caramel sauce during baking. Now for the part that seems strange but is essential—pour the hot water over everything. Again, resist the urge to stir! Finish by sprinkling the chopped pecans evenly across the top.
- Step 4: Bake to Perfection Place your Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the center is mostly set but still has a slight jiggle. The top should be golden brown, and the pecans nicely toasted. Your kitchen will be filled with an irresistible aroma of spiced pumpkin and caramelized nuts.
- Step 5: Cool and Serve Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving—this gives the magical layers time to set properly. As it cools, the cake will firm up while maintaining that gorgeous saucy layer beneath. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate fall dessert experience!
