1/2 c melted margarine

1 29 oz can of pumpkin
3 eggs
1/4 c white sugar
1/2  light brown sugar
2/3 c canned milk
1 t cinnamon
1 t pumpkin pie spice mix

Pour over bottom layer

Topping:
1 c reserved cake mix
1/2 c pecans...be generous
1/2 c white sugar
1/4 c margarine...not melted

Blend together and sprinkle over all. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes or until knife comes clean. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or Cool Whip. YUM!

I've made something very similar and really, really liked it. This was almost just as good. The one difference that made me like this version a little less is the egg in the bottom layer. It made the cake rise too much. We had it warm from the oven the first night and cold the other nights, and I enjoyed it more cold. YUM!
