Ingredients

1 teaspoon butter
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with 1 teaspoon butter.
2 Combine pumpkin puree, eggs, water, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl. Stir in cake mix and baking soda until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
3 Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter in a small bowl until crumbly; sprinkle over batter with your fingers.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
5 Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, heavy cream, white sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat; stir until sugars are dissolved and glaze is smooth.
6 Poke holes all over top of cake with a toothpick. Pour glaze evenly over cake.
