PUMPKIN PIE CAKE

The first time I tried this recipe I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Pie? Cake?  Something in between?

Well, it’s definitely sort of a pumpkin pie and a pumpkin cake, all wrapped into one amazing but simple dessert. Creamy and spiced to perfection.

It’s the perfect dessert to have during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving, or to
bring to any holiday party. It’s fast an easy and always a crowd pleaser.

HOW TO MAKE  PUMPKIN PIE CAKE

You will need couple of minutes to mix everything up and get it in the oven. Plan on
an hour for baking, and a 20-30 minutes to chill before serving. 

Basically, you make a pumpkin pie filling and a yellow cake.

You’ll press 3/4 of the cake mix mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 pan, pour in all the pie filling, then top with the rest of the crumbled cake mix and pecans. 
When it’s done baking, the pumpkin pie cake will be nice and golden brown on the
top, and a knife inserted near the edge will come out clean.

Serve it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (required) and caramel sauce and toffee bits (optional).  You can cut it into 20 small pieces or 15 larger pieces. Either way, everyone’s going to love it!

  1. A winner! My family likes this recipe better than traditional pumpkin pie! But I still there a secret to getting the cake base spread evenly in the pan.? It was very sticky and hard to spread. I had to stick it in the the freezer a few times before finally getting it spread.

  2. Oh my goodness this looks so delicious and seems really easy to make. I have to try making this first before Thanksgiving, and it might take more than one try, that way I will have it perfected by Thanksgiving.
