How to Make Pumpkin Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the cake mix, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup softened butter. Mix until just combined.
  3. Pat the cake mix mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use your hands, lightly floured, to press the mixture into a thin layer.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt, evaporated milk, and 3 large eggs.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cake mix layer in the pan.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup cake mix, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  7. Cut in 3 tablespoons of cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pumpkin layer.
  9. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Chill for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor and texture.
  11. Serve chilled with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
