Easy Pumpkin Cake

Ingredients

For the crust

1 box Arrowhead Mills Organic Vanilla Cake Mix (divided) Add to list

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour Add to list

1 stick butter or margarine (1/2 cup) Add to list

1 egg or 1/3 cup egg whites, slightly beaten Add to list

For the filling

1 large can plain pumpkin Add to list

3 eggs or 1 cup egg whites, slightly beaten Add to list

1/2 cup brown sugar Add to list

1/4 cup granulated sugar Add to list

2/3 cup evaporated milk (I use fat free) Add to list

1 teaspoon cinnamon Add to list

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger Add to list

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves Add to list

For the topping

3/4 cup reserved cake mix Add to list

1/2 cup granulated sugar Add to list

1/4 cup butter or margarine Add to list

1/2 to 1 cup oats and wheat germ (or only oats) Add to list

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350° F.

To make the crust

Reserve 3/4 cup cake mix and set aside. Blend together the remaining cake mix, flour, butter or margarine, and egg or egg whites. Press into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 9x3-inch cake pan.

To make the filling

Mix ingredients together and pour over unbaked crust.

To make the topping

Mix together reserved cake mix, sugar, margarine and oats plus wheat germ (if using). If the topping is still too moist (it should easily crumble) add more oats and/or wheat germ. Sprinkle topping mixture over the top of the filling. You can also sprinkle more oats on the topping.

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. ENJOY!

Pumpkin Cake pan size?

Hi, just want to point out that the recipe calls for a 9x3-inch pan... am I correct to assume you meant a 9 x 13-inch pan? Thought you might want to correct it....
Looks good, I'll be trying this recipe.

Pumpkin Cake Pan

I just came across this recipe and want to try next week for a group gathering. As Danene notes, the recipe calls for 9 x 3 inch cake pan. Should it be 9 x 13 or is it a 9"square pan? I see that nobody responded to Danene in over a year...I quess I'll have to try one and hope it works!

RE: Pumpkin Cake Pan

Hello,

Thanks for your comment.

This recipe was submitted by a shopper. I'll try and track down some information and hopefully have a response shortly.

RE: Pumpkin Cake Pan

I just consulted with one of our PCC Cooks staff. This was definitely a typo by the shopper that submitted the recipe.

You will want to use a 9 x 13 inch pan when preparing and baking this recipe.

Thanks,
