Since it got really cold here.. .windy, gusts to 60mph, higher in the canyon…it reminds me of FALL..and pumpkins!! So here’s a really easy Pumpking Cake receipe I got from my friends at The Wooden Spoon..
I LOVE pumpkin anything but particularly love it in a cake/brownie like version. I make a mean Pumpkin Pie Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting but this recipe is even easier and faster which is great for when unexpected company arrives and you need something quick!
This also makes a big ol’ pan worth so I have no trouble feeding several cowboys and a few cowpokes with it. It’s very moist and goes great with Cool Whip.
Do you have a dessert that you can whip up in a hurry? I could always use some ideas! I’m gettin’ lazy in my old age.
Recipe: Quick and Easy Pumpkin Cake
Ingredients
1 large can pumpkin pie mix (has the sugar and spices in it)
1 large can evaporated milk
4 eggs
1 white or yellow cake mix
Instructions
Mix the pumpkin pie mix, cake mix, milk, and eggs together. Pour into 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350F for 1 hour. Cool. Serve with whipped cream or frozen whipped topping, thawed. Serves 12 to 15.
Variations
For another version, you can combine the pumpkin mix, milk, and eggs together and pour into pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix over the pumpkin mixture. Drizzle 1 cup of melted butter over cake mix. Top with pecans. They both cook the same time. It just depends on your mood whether you want lots of butter, or not;)
