Pumpkin Dumpster Cake

Now that you know how to cook pumpkins from my previous post here is a favorite pumpkin recipe. Sort of a modified "Dump Cake".  Thanks Brenda for introducing me to this easy, yummy dessert!  Enjoy!  Anne

Pumpkin Dumpster  (Brenda)

1  large can pumpkin, or 4 cups fresh

1  13 oz. can evaporated milk, or 1 cup vanilla ice cream

3 eggs

1 c sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cloves

1/2 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp salt

In a large bowl, mix above ingredients together - mix well.  Pour into 9 x 13 cake pan.

1 box yellow cake mix - sprinkle on top of pumpkin mixture in pan.

3/4 c to 1 c walnuts -  sprinkle on top of cake mix

1 stick butter or margarine - melt and drizzle over entire pan 

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes if margarine is used.  Bake an extra 20 to 30 minutes if butter is used.  Cake should be golden brown.   Using a toothpick, when inserting it in the middle of the cake, it should be clean when done.  If there is any really moist batter sticking to the toothpick then let the cake cook abit more.

If this is too sweet, the sugar may be cut in half!
