Thanksgiving Pumpkin Crumble Cake Recipe – Your New Pumpkin Pie Tradition

 

Pumpkin crumble cake is sort of a pumpkin pie and a pumpkin cake, all wrapped into one amazing but simple dessert idea. I like to use Betty Crocker Supermoist Yellow Cake Mix for this recipe.

pumpkin-pie-crumble-cake-betty-crocker-facebookThis cake has all the yummy flavors of a pumpkin pie but the heartiness of a cake. It’s the perfect dessert to have during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving, or to bring to any holiday party.  It’s fast an easy and always a crowd pleaser.    It was featured recently on the Betty Crocker Facebook Fan Page and enjoyed by thousands! This year, I made a video to show you how easy it is to make. Get the recipe below the video.

I got this recipe from a friend years ago when she made it for a potluck dinner. I modified it a little over the years. I think it is the right combination of pie and cake. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

For base:

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) Box Betty Crocker Supermoist Yellow Cake Mix
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg

For filling:

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten

For topping:

  • 1 cup of dry cake mix
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, walnuts or both
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 pan.

Remove 1 cup of cake mix from the cake mix box and set aside in a small bowl for the topping. Then in a large bowl combine the remaining cake mix with 1 egg and a 1/2 cup melted butter. Mix well, and pat into bottom of pan. Set aside

In the same bowl used for the base, mix together the pumpkin, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar and cinnamon. Combine well and pour over base mix in pan.

With a fork, combine your reserved cup of cake mix with the nuts and softened butter. Crumble over pumpkin mix.

Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes until golden brown.  Let cool for at least 20-30 minutes then cut in squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Fun Desserts: Patriotic Red White and Blue Cake Pops

Fun Desserts: Patriotic Red White and Blue Cake Pops

Serving up a dessert that’s fun and patriotic for the 4th of July is easy with these red white and blue Patriotic Cake Pops.

Cake pops are a fun dessert for kids and adults. Part cake and part candy pop make these a dessert that can be made in advance and served up in millions of different ways. You can use any cake flavor or frosting of your choice as well as decorative sprinkles to make them all your own. They are a fun activity for the kids too. It allows everyone to get messy in the kitchen and mix up some fun.

I thought it would be pretty to make a red cake and dip them in white candy melts and red, white, and blue sprinkles. These patriotic cake pops are perfect for any party.

Ingredients (makes 40-50 cake pops):

  • 1 box of Betty Crocker® cake mix of your choice
  • 1 1/3 cups of water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 (12 oz) can Betty Crocker® frosting of your choice
  • 1 (14 oz) bag of candy melts of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon shortening
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Colored decorative cookie sprinkles of your choice
  • Wax paper
  • A flat piece of Styrofoam

Directions:

Bake cake as directed on box for a 13 x 9 cake and let cool completely

With your fingers, crumble cake into a large bowl. Once the cake is completely crumbled, add the frosting. Mix well with your hands until dough forms. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on wax paper on cookie sheet.

Place in freezer for about 15 minutes.

When ready to assemble, heat candy melts in a small bowl in the microwave according to the directions on package. Mix in the shortening until you have a smooth texture that runs off a spoon. Remove cake pop balls from freezer.

Dip the tip of a Popsicle stick into the melted candy then halfway into the cake ball.  Lay them down on a wax paper coated cookie sheet until all the balls have the sticks attached.

Allow them to drip for a moment and then dip into colored sprinkles. Set into Styrofoam to harden.

Cooking Tips:

  • A mini ice cream scooper makes it easy to get an even amount of dough before rolling into balls.
  • If candy melts are still very thick add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of shortening until mixture is smooth.
  • If you want to make colored cake like red, blue or green use a few drops of food coloring of your choice to the cake mix and mix well before baking.
  • Cake pops do not need to be refrigerated.
  • For added decoration dip cake into candy only, allow them to dry completely and decorate with decorative icing.
