I found this on the internet and it sounded TOO good!
The Great Pumpkin--Pie Cake.

1 yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 C melted butter + 4 T soft butter
1 lb can of pumpkin**
1/2 C white sugar
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
1/2 t salt
2/3 C evaporated milk



Combine and press into bottom of 9x13 cake pan:
1 yellow cake mix (reserve one cup for topping), 1 egg, ½ c. melted butter.

Mix together and pour over crust layer:
1 lb. can pumpkin, ½ c. sugar, 1 ½ tsp. cinnamon, ½ tsp. nutmeg, ½ tsp. salt, 2 beaten eggs, 2/3 c. canned evaporated milk.

For topping, combine using butter knives till crumbly & sprinkle over pumpkin layer:
1 cup cake mix, ½ tsp. cinnamon, ¼ c. sugar, 4 Tbsp. softened butter.

Bake at 350F for 50 mins. Check for doneness by inserting toothpick in center. Should come out clean.

(Note: To double recipe, use 2 lb. can pumpkin, full can of canned milk plus additional regular milk. Second cake will freeze well for later)

This is a Fall goddess I created for a swap on Making_dollz@yahoogroups.com. I really liked how this one came out.

Well, I have finally decided to jump on the blogging band wagon. Having just gone through a rough period, I am finally starting to feel some of those creative juices starting to flow again.
