Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Potato Cobbler
  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃).
  2. Open the canned sweet potatoes and pour out half of the liquid. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a 9x13 baking dish, cutting them into smaller pieces and spreading them evenly across the bottom.
  3. Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with the pumpkin spice and pour in the vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix with the softened butter. Mix until a soft dough forms that holds together but is still crumbly.
  5. Distribute small clumps of the dough over the sweet potatoes in the baking dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.
