Pumpkin Magic Cake
Description
This Pumpkin Magic Cake uses a boxed yellow cake mix prepared according to package instructions as the base layer in a 9x13 pan. A mixture of canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, heavy cream, eggs, and brown sugar is whisked smooth and poured over the batter. Baking for about an hour allows the custard to set while the cake cooks through, resulting in a distinct cake and pumpkin custard combination.
The frosting is made by whisking white chocolate instant pudding mix with pumpkin pie spice and milk until smooth, then folding in Cool Whip for lightness. This cream is spread over the cooled cake and decorated with white chocolate curls to complement the pumpkin flavors and add texture.
Chill the finished cake before serving to allow the custard and frosting layers to firm up. The cake can be made one to two days ahead, stored covered in the fridge for up to a week. This layered dessert balances moist cake with pumpkin spice creaminess, suitable for autumn or holiday gatherings.
