Pumpkin Cake

Step #1: 1 pkg. Yellow cake mix, ¾ cup soft butter and 1 egg. Combine the ingredients and press into the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan.

Step #2: 2 cups pumpkin puree, ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 2 eggs, ¾ cup condensed milk, 1 tsp. vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon or nutmeg to taste. Combine these ingredients and pour over the top of Step #1. I use ½ to 1 tsp of all three spices.

Step #3: 2 cups yellow cake mix, ½ cup sugar, 2 tsp. cinnamon, ½ cup soft butter. Combine and drop in small pieces over Step #2. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

The cake mix on the bottom creates a sweet crust for the pumpkin pie like filling and step three makes a stuesel topping over it all. This is a sweet and tasty alternative to a traditional pumpkin pie.
