Looking for a delicious and easy dessert for Thanksgiving? This dessert is like a cross between a pumpkin pie and a cake. Perfect for busy cooks who don't have time to prepare a pie crust. The bottom layer is cake-like and the middle layer tastes like a pumpkin pie. The topping did not come out crispy like the title suggests but it was still yummy and was a big hit with everyone who tried it. This is a recipe from allrecipes.com. The recipe calls for a 18.25 ounce yellow cake mix that I could not find at my grocery store. I used a 16.25 ounce cake mix that I added 5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and it came out perfect.
Start by preparing a 9 X 13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Reserve 1 cup of the cake mix and set aside. Combine remaining cake mix, 1/2 cup melted butter and one egg. Press into the bottom of baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, spices, two eggs, 1/2 cup sugar and milk.
Spread the pumpkin mixture over the the bottom layer.
Mix 3/4 cup sugar with reserved cup of cake mix. Cut in 1/2 cup softened butter until it is crumbly.
Spoon the crumbly mixture over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes.
