I LOVE pumpkin anything but particularly love it in a cake/brownie like version. I make a mean Pumpkin Pie Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting but this recipe is even easier and faster which is great for when unexpected company arrives and you need something quick!
This also makes a big ol’ pan worth so I have no trouble feeding several cowboys and a few cowpokes with it. It’s very moist and goes great with Cool Whip.
Do you have a dessert that you can whip up in a hurry? I could always use some ideas! I’m gettin’ lazy in my old age.
Recipe: Quick and Easy Pumpkin Cake
Ingredients
- 1 large can pumpkin pie mix (has the sugar and spices in it)
- 1 large can evaporated milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 white or yellow cake mix
Instructions
- Mix the pumpkin pie mix, cake mix, milk, and eggs together. Pour into 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350F for 1 hour. Cool. Serve with whipped cream or frozen whipped topping, thawed. Serves 12 to 15.
Variations
For another version, you can combine the pumpkin mix, milk, and eggs together and pour into pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix over the pumpkin mixture. Drizzle 1 cup of melted butter over cake mix. Top with pecans. They both cook the same time. It just depends on your mood whether you want lots of butter, or not;)

Hoping over to visit from Momdot’s Content Thursday and I’d have to say that that cake looks delicious and sounds easy. Thanks for the recipe.

This looks fantastic and I want to make it but when you say a large can of pumpkin pie filling, are you referring to the 29 oz can? Other recipes I have found for this show only a 15-16 oz can. No extra sugar needed??
Okay, I finally got the chance to make this. I used a REALLY big
can of pumpkin, the 29-30 oz. One 15-16 oz can of PET milk and of
course the remaining ingredients. MY FAMILY LOVED IT! So much so,
I made another one to take to work and it didn’ last the day. My family
doesn’t care for pumpkin pie but loved this so much so I have already
been asked to make this at the holidays.
Which of the two versions is the one in the picture. I want a slice of that one!
The photo is for the recipe provided, not the alternate version.
Looks great.
how do you think it would be as a layer cake for a birthday party?
I was thinking about making these in a cupcake pan. Do you think that would work? Would I need to adjust the cooking time?
My daughter and I made this today and it turned out very yummy. Nice and easy with a great result! Thanks for sharing.
