The recipes I have posted are, for the most part, handwritten by the people who gave them to me. I love to use these copies because they bring back so many memories of family and friends. This recipe came from my Aunt Jane who passed away many tears ago. Because it uses a cake mix I’m sure she found it on the side of a box. With only a few added ingredients this recipe makes a quick and easy cake with creamy pumpkin filling and crunchy streusel topping that is perfect for any fall get together!
To start, measure out and set aside 1 cup of the cake mix and set aside. Combine the remaining mix, 1/2 cup of butter and 1 egg and stir until a dough forms. Press into a greased 11 x 13 baking dish.
Add the pumpkin, 1/2 cinnamon, 3 eggs, 2/3 cup milk and 1/2 cup brown sugar to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the crust.
Add the reserved cake mix, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup butter and 2/3 cup chopped nuts to a bowl and mix until crumbly (if using margarine or butter at room temperature the streusel may be semi-doughy instead of crumbly). Crumble topping evenly over cake.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until streusel is golden brown. Allow to cool before cutting.
Enjoy!
