I think I have discovered the tastiest pumpkin dessert recipe...ever. I found it in my Fix It and Enjoy-It cookbook and made it for dinner with our cousins last night. Oh my, did we ever enjoy. It was super easy, a big hit and one worth sharing with the whole world!
Pumpkin Crunch Cake Divine
(renamed by me...it's listed as Pumpkin Yummy Dessert in the book - hardly does it justice)
29-oz. can pumpkin
1/4 t. salt
2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ground ginger
1/4 t. ground cloves
1 c. brown sugar
3 eggs
14-oz. can evaporated milk
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1 stick (1/2 c.) butter, melted
1 c. chopped pecans, if desired**
Cool Whip, or ice cream (I recommend Cinnamon ice cream, but Vanilla would be fine)
1. In large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, sugar and eggs. Blend well.
2. Add milk slowly while mixing and blend thoroughly.
3. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan.
4. Sprinkle cake mix evenly over batter.
5. Pour butter evenly over cake mix.
6. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
**If adding pecans, bake only for 30 minutes, then sprinkle nuts on top, then bake for additional 20-30 minutes.
7. Cool. Serve with cool whip or ice cream.
