Pumpkin pie cake.
1 box yellow cake mix
3/4 c butter
4 eggs
2 c pumpkin
1/2 c brown sugar
3/4 c white sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2/3 c milk
(I cut the sugars in half)
Mix cake mix minus 1 c (reserve and set aside for topping),1/2 c melted marg, and 1 beaten egg.Put in bottom of a 9×13 pan. Mix together pumpkin, 3 eggs, 1/2 c br sugar, 1/4 c wht sugar,2/3 c milk and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon.Spread over cake. Mix together and sprinkle on top of pumpkin mixture… 1 c cake mix, 1/2 c wht sugar, 1/4 c marg (not melted). Bake at 350* 50-55 min (in my oven I had to bake it a bit longer.
Now I have never actually gone through the steps of my baking, but I thought what the heck, first time for everything.
Now if you follow the directions above and my photos below, you will see this is a very easy recipe.
The results are in:
The cake is very moist. It doesn’t stay together in one piece like most cakes. It crumbles and falls apart. It is not a sweet cake loaded with sugars although it takes sugars. It reminds me of a crumb cake. Al ate all of his. I ate all of mine.
For supper we had cut-up and fried sausage, boiled potatoes with butter, fresh cooked carrots and the cake. Now Al ate all of his supper. I ate all of mine. Rhino, our fat cat is a very fussy cat. He eats no table food but yet sits at my feet and begs like a dog.
I added a dollop of cool whip to the cake to bring a bit of sweetness to it. I gave Rhino a bite of each food we ate and the only one he approved of and ate was the small taste of cool whip. Al and I smiled at this.
So I thought supper was alright. The cake was good and all is well at our dinner table. What was on your plate tonight?
Here is how I did it described by photos.

well this certainly would be true. I would rather have a nice white cake with lots of butter cream icing, my first choice, but much more sugars

I think she weighed about 5 kilos last time we weighed her. She only eats once a day so she’s not overfed. I think it is just her breed. But man she looks fat!

Cook the pumpkin pieces in water, make them small with my blender into a puree and then put a bit od Boullions powder in and seasoning in it. I am pretty bad and don’t follow recipes properly, but it comes out nice! 🙂
