Magic Pumpkin Cake
Submitted by: Shawn C.
What’s so magical about this cake? You
start off by mixing up a yellow cake mix and pour it into the cake pan
like normal, Then you whip up some pumpkin pie filling and pour that on
top of the cake mix. The Pumpkin sinks to the bottom and when the cake
is baked it comes out in perfect layers!
Ingredients: For the Cake
1 box of yellow cake mix PLUS ingredients needed to make it (the eggs, water, oil, etc.)
For the Pumpkin Pie Filling
1 (15oz) can Pumpkin Puree
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
For the Frosting
1 (4 serving size) box vanilla instant pudding mix
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup cold milk
8 oz Cool Whip, thawed Directions:Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions, and pour it into a lightly greased 9"x13" cake pan. Set aside but DO NOT BAKE.
Whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, cream, eggs, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in another mixing bowl until smooth. Slowly pour the pumpkin pie mixture evenly over the cake mix, making sure it gets into the corners.
Carefully
place cake into the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted into cake mix comes out clean. Remove the cake from
the oven and let it cool to room temperature. NOTE: The cake might be slightly darker than normal, but still tastes great.
Make
the frosting by placing the vanilla pudding mix into a large mixing
bowl. Add the pumpkin pie spice and the cold milk. Whisk the
mixture until all the ingredients are combined and the pudding is
starting to thicken.
Gently fold the Cool Whip into the mixture until it's completely combined and spread the mixture on the top of the cooled cake.
Serve immediately, or serve chilled. Either way the cake tastes great.
