Ingredients

For the Cake layer:
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 3 large eggs
For the pumpkin layer:
  • 1 can pure pumpkin 15 oz
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
For the frosting:
  • 1 tub Cool Whip, thawed 16 oz

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray 13x9 baking dish with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
  2. Prepare cake layer by blending ingredients together until smooth. Beat 2 minutes and pour into prepared baking dish.
  3. For the pumpkin layer, combine ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour into cake layer. Pumpkin will sink down to the bottom, as it should. No need to swirl or smooth.
  4. Bake for 60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. The cake will look a little more "done" than usual, that's okay. Frost cooled cake with Cool Whip and refrigerate until ready to serve (at least 4 hours or overnight). ENJOY!
