Before we get too far past Thanksgiving I wanted to share one of our family’s favorite recipes ~ Pumpkin Crunch Cake. We have this every year for Thanksgiving. We have also used this recipe for a birthday cake for my daughter, Cara. {Her birthday is TODAY!} I got this recipe from my friend, Hayley several years ago. Now it has become a yummy family tradition.
Pumpkin Crunch Cake
- 1 large 15 oz. can of pumpkin
- 1 12 oz.can evaporated milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs

Mix pumpkin, evaporated milk, cinnamon, sugar & eggs together. Oil a 9x13 inch pan. Then line with wax paper. Oil the paper lightly. Pour pumpkin mix into pan, sprinkle yellow cake mix over pumpkin mixture. Pat chopped nuts over mix. Spoon melted butter over the surface evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until done. When cooled, turn over on plate & frost. {Cream Cheese Frosting recipe below.}
