Pumpkin Pie Cake

This recipe comes to us via guest contributor Paula.

This Pumpkin Pie Cake recipe is one of my favorites handed down from my mom. I recently made it for a family gathering. My family likes it better than pumpkin pie.

• 1 box yellow cake mix (reserve 1 cup)
• 1 stick margarine or butter (melted)
• 2 eggs beaten
• Save the 1 cup cake mix for topping

To the remainder of the cake mix, add eggs and butter (or margarine). Beat with a fork until all mix is absorbed. Put into greased 9 x 13 pan.

Filling:

• 1 large can pumpkin (1 lb 13 oz)
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mix together well. Pour over crust.

Topping:

• 1 cup cake mix
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup nuts (optional)
• 1 stick butter or margarine - cold

Mix by hand and crumble on top of filling

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes.

Top with your favorite whipped cream before serving (optional)

Makes a great Thanksgiving dessert. Enjoy!
