Pumpkin pie is great, but sometimes we want to step outside the box and figure out another way to serve pumpkin for dessert. Never fear, I have just the recipe! (Stolen, with permission, from my mom.)
I can almost guarantee that 99% of the people you serve this to will love it. (There’s always that 1% that we hate inviting over for a meal because they’ll find a reason to not like anything.)
Better than Pumpkin Pie Cake
3 cups canned pumpkin pie mix
1 cup evaporated milk
4 eggs, beaten
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup melted butter
1 cup chopped walnuts (or whatever nut you like)
Mix together the pumpkin pie mix, evaporated milk, and eggs, then put in 9 x 13 greased and floured pan. Sprinkle with the yellow cake mix, then pour the butter over that and top with the nuts. Bake at 350 for 30 min, then 325 for another 15 or 20 minutes, but check a lot toward the end to make sure the nuts aren’t getting too dark. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
I can’t leave this cake alone; even when I’m so full that I have to crawl away from the table. It’s that good.
I have made this same recipe for the past 8-10 years. Everyone loves it and it's always a big hit. You won't be disappointed!
