Description

Pumpkin love can turn a pumpkin pie hater into a perfectly acceptable Thanksgiving guest; bring this cake mix-based dessert and you'll see.

Ingredients

1 (15 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 (28 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Pour cake mix into a bowl; remove and reserve 1 cup. Add 1/2 cup melted butter and 1 beaten egg to the bowl; stir to combine. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
3 Combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, brown sugar, 3 beaten eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour filling into the crust-lined baking pan.
4 Crumble together the reserved 1 cup dry cake mix, white sugar, and 1/3 cup butter in another bowl using a pastry cutter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the filling.
5 Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until top is light brown and the dessert barely jiggles when slightly shaken, 50 to 60 minutes.
6 Allow to cool completely, about 45 minutes. Beat heavy cream and 2 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl until soft peaks form. Top dessert with whipped cream before serving.
