How to Make Out Of This World Pumpkin Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2/3 cup milk, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 3 large eggs, and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar.
Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cake mix crust.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pumpkin layer.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
