How to Make Pumpkin Crunch Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
  5. Sprinkle the cake mix mixture evenly over the pumpkin mixture.
  6. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and drizzle it evenly over the cake mix topping.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. For the frosting: Beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 8 ounces Cool Whip, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
  11. Frost the inverted cake with the cream cheese frosting.
  12. Sprinkle generously with sweetened shredded coconut.
