Pumpkin Delight!

For all the Halloween parties we attended/had I could not pass up making the notorious pumpkin crumble/cake/treat/delight. My college roommates and I would make this treat for each other's birthdays. What a treat it was to come home to the wonderful smell of pumpkin delight.


This is what is looks like pre-cooked.

People who do not even like pumpkin enjoy this dessert.

Here is the recipe:

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Grease 13 x 9 in pan

Yellow cake mix—remove one cup—set aside in separate bowl.

Bottom layer of cake:
In a large bowl—>
beat remaining cake mix,
½ cup melted butter (I usually do around 1/3 cup)
1 egg
—>press into pan as crust

Middle of cake:
Pumpkin—(1 lb. 13 oz--use LIbby's)
Mix pumpkin filling,
3 eggs,
1 cup sugar,
2/3 cup evaporated milk,
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
Poor over crust

Topping:
Combine reserved cake mix with
½ cup sugar,
¼ cup melted butter
—>crumble over top of middle pumpkin part.

Bake 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until golden brown on top

This cake is good warm and it is also very good cold. I like to cool it in the fridge and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
