Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
• 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Mix until smooth and pour into a 9x13 inch pan.

Step 3

Sprinkle dry cake mix over pumpkin mixture, then sprinkle chopped nuts and pat down gently. Melt butter or margarine and drizzle over cake.

Step 4

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 45 to 60 minutes. (Be sure to check the cake after 45 minutes because oven temperatures vary.)

Step 5

After cake cools, turn it upside down so the top of the cake will be the crust. Remove the parchment paper. Top with dessert topping (optional) before serving.
