I originally shared this recipe on October 9, 2010, but since this Pumpkin Pie Cake is still my favorite pumpkin recipe, it's time to be shared with the world again.
Here is my post from 2010:
This cake is, by far, MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE PUMPKIN DESSERT EVER!!! There is just something about it that is so comforting. It has the perfect textures and combination of spices. Oh and don't forget the amazing streusel topping. I love sitting down on a cold day and eating a warm piece of this cake with a little Cool Whip on top. Pure heaven! I love to eat this cake warm, I just zap it in the microwave for 15 seconds or so, top with Cool Whip or whipping cream and enjoy.

ReplyDeleteWHAT SIZE CAN OF EVAPORATED MILK?

ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it! - Jenn

ReplyDeleteLet me know what everyone thinks. Hopefully, it will be a new family favorite! - Jenn
DeleteMUST add pecan pieces before you pour the melted butter over all!!!!! all the difference in the world! and NO OLEO...butter is best...I use the olive oil butter. And 3 t. pumpkin pie spice instead of the other stuff...it's heavenly with Cinnamon Cool Whip or REAL whip cream (preferably). Yes, this is a stable in our house during the holidays...so easy and so good.
ReplyDeleteThis would be good with pecans and amazing with cinnamon whipped cream! - Jenn
DeleteI have made this 3 times so far and every time I get so, SO many compliments on it!! Gotta try some of your other recipes.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you like it as much as I do! Thanks for letting me know.
DeleteYum!! I have all the ingredients on hand and will be making this later today!!
ReplyDeleteYay - I can't wait for you to try it :)
DeleteCan you sub the butter for applesauce?? Think it would taste the same?
ReplyDeleteI have not tried that, but I definitely think it would NOT work in this recipe. Applesauce works in some cake recipes when used in place of some of the oil, because it will still add moisture. In this cake recipe, the butter is needed to help create a crispy buttery streusel topping and nice crust.
DeleteGood, middle soft.
