A nice easy alternative to pumpkin pie or pumpkin cake! Ingredients:
crust |
1 package yellow or spice cake mix (set aside one cup of the dry mix before proceeding) |
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine |
1 egg |
filling |
29 ounce pumpkin |
2 eggs |
2/3 cup evaporated milk |
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
topping |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon cinnamon |
1/3 cup butter or margarine |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Grease and flour a 8X11 inch baking pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Disregard instructions on cake mix box, you're not going to bake a cake. Mix dry cake mix (minus 1 cup dry mix) and melted butter. Add egg and mix till it holds together (different cake mixes react differently, so you may need to add a small amount of milk 1/2 tsp. at a time, if necessary to hold mixture together).
3. Pat crust mixture into pan with your fingers, coating bottom and up the sides about 1 inch.
4. Mix together the filling ingredients, along with the reserved 1 cup of dry cake mix, and pour into the crust.
5. Mix the topping ingredients (minus the optional nuts) together with a fork or pastry blender till mixture is crumbly. Mix in nuts, if desired.
6. Sprinkle topping mixture over filling and bake for 45-60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
7. 8. Cool and serve with whipped cream.
