PUMPKIN CAKE

by my sister JoAnn
Ingredients:

• 1 box yellow cake mix (minus 1 cup, set aside for topping)
• 1 stick butter (8 Tablespoons)
• 1 egg

Mix with hand mixer (or in food processor) and press into greased 9 x 13 inch pan.

Prepare your favorite Pumpkin Pie filling recipe or this:

• 1 large can pumpkin
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Mace
• 1/2 teaspoon Allspice
• 4 eggs (beaten)
• 2 cups milk
• 1 Tablespoon butter

Pour over crust.

Topping:
Add 3 Tablespoons cold butter and 1 Tablespoon cinnamon to reserved cup of dry cake mix. Cut butter into cake mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle topping over pumpkin pie filling.

Bake at 350 degree for 60 – 70 minutes.  Just keep an eye on it after the 60 minute mark. You want it to be “set” in the middle. So if you shake the pan a little and it doesn’t “jiggle”, you should be good.)
Let cool and serve with whipped cream on top!
