Pumpkin Pie Cake

So this is one of my absolute favorite things ever. A family favorite! I have been making this for years and I think the original recipe came from an old 3 rivers cook book ( I have all of them and I love them!) If I didn't show up to my family's Thanksgiving dinner with this in hand I don't think they would let me in!

 For the base : 1 box yellow cake mix (omit one cup for later use)
to the remainder add 1 stick slightly softened butter and one egg beaten.
mix with fork and press into greased and floured 9x13 pan.
for filling mix together
1 large can pumpkin
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup milk
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
beat mixture and spread over cake dough base


for topping :
 remaining cake mix
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 stick butter slightly softened
sometimes I add a few dashes cinnamon here too
crumble together and sprinkle over cake


Bake at 350* for 50-55 minutes.toothpick should come out clean. When cooled it is great with whipped cream! Store in refrigerator. I hope you love this as much as me and my family do!
