Tasty Tuesday


Pumpkin Cake
This is somewhat similar to a pumpkin pie, with a cake-like crust and topped with a crispy, sweet streusel.

So, this cake is made in 3 sections.

First, mix the following together:

1 yellow cake mix (reserve 3/4 c.)
1 cube butter (1/2 c.), melted
1 egg, beaten

Then press into a greased 9×13 cake pan. Set aside.

Next, mix these following ingredients together in large bowl:
1 large can of pumpkin
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 c. sugar
2/3 c. canned milk
2 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Pour this mixture over your previously pressed crust in pan.

Topping for pumpkin cake:

3/4 c. cake mix
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. butter
1 c. chopped nuts

Blend ingredients; sprinkle on top of cake.
Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes (do not overcook).

This maybe my new favorite Pumpkin Recipe!

Thanks to Connie's Daughter Camille at Make It Work Mom she put this recipe on her blog a few days ago and I knew I had to make it soon! Glad I did.

I'm not a huge pumpkin pie eater, however, I do love pumpkin/chocolate chip cookies and this cake recipe really looks tasty. I would probably like this a lot. I know my husband would.
