Welcome to the third, weekly edition of
Thanksgiving is next week! Holy Cow!!! I know that you are all getting you menus ready for the big day. One of my favorite Thanksgiving foods is pumpkin pie. I love it but don't really like to make a crust. My cousin, Tammy, sent me this recipe for pumpkin pie cake and it has been a staple at our house ever since! You'll notice that the crumb topping has picked off most of the cake in the picture ... that's because the kids love it so much. They kept sneaking pieces until most of the topping was gone.
Pumpkin Pie Cake
Crust:
1 package white or yellow cake mix (set aside 1 cup for topping)
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1 egg (optional)
Mix ingredients together. Pat into a 9x13 pan. Real butter will make the crust very flaky. Add the egg for a cake-like crust.
Filling:
1 large can pumpkin
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp ginger
(or 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice to replace cloves and ginger)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 to 1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup evaporated milk
Mix ingredients together. Spread over crust.
Topping:
1 cup cake mix
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine (softened, not melted)
Mix until crumbly and sprinkle over cake.
Bake at 350* for 45-50 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Serve with whipped cream.

I thought this was your peach cake mix thing that you make. That has become a family favorite at our house, and it's so easy even the kids can make it.
ReplyDeleteDon't give it away, Allison. I'll post that one after the first of the year.
