Thanksgiving Wine Series: Pumpkin Pie Cake

Pumpkin Pie Cake

I’m sure this recipe has been shared all over the US – but I have to say it’s one of the easiest and best “pumpkin pie” recipes out there.  I am not one for “cheating” but if you hate making pie crust, try this instead.  It makes the equivalent of 2 pumpkin pies and is delicious.

1 32 oz can Pumpkin (pie mixture)
2 12 oz cans evaporated milk
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
4 eggs slightly beaten
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 box yellow cake mix
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup melted butter

  1. In a large bowl blend together all but the last three ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Butter/grease a 9×13 in baking pan and pour in the pumpkin mixture.
  4. Sprinkle dry cake mix over the pumpkin mixture until covered. Drizzle on the melted butter, and cover with chopped nuts.
  5. Bake for one hour. Cool. Best served with real whipped cream!
