- 1 1/2 cups cake mix (reserve 1 cup for later)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Ensure your oven is ready to bake this delicious cake to perfection.
-
-
Prepare Pan: Spray or grease a 9×13 inch pan, ensuring the cake doesn’t stick to the surface during baking.
-
Create Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining cake mix with 1 egg and 1/4 lb. melted butter. Mix the ingredients well until you have a smooth, dough-like consistency.
-
Spread Crust: Spread the crust mixture evenly into the prepared pan, creating a solid base for your pumpkin crumb cake.
-
Prepare Filling: In another mixing bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, 3 eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. This luscious filling will be the heart of your cake.
-
Pour Filling: Once the filling is thoroughly mixed, pour it evenly over the prepared crust, ensuring it covers the entire surface of the cake.
-
Create Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the reserved cup of cake mix with 1 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of butter. Mix the ingredients until they form a crumbly texture, perfect for topping your cake.
-
Add Nuts (Optional): For an extra crunch and flavor, sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped nuts over the crumb topping, if desired.
-
Assemble Cake: Evenly distribute the crumb topping over the pumpkin filling, creating a deliciously sweet and crumbly layer.
-
Bake: Place the assembled cake in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful pumpkin dessert experience.
