I wish I could tell you that I made this up on my own, but...
My inspiration actually came from fellow blogger Karen from There's A Veggie in my Cake.
She made a version using sweet potato puree and flax seed. I didn't have either of those but I did have a can of pumpkin!
It all starts with a Krusteaz Crumb Cake mix!. The mix calls for one egg and water. I added my pumpkin to the wet ingredients. Then I added the wet ingred. to the cake mix.
Pour 1/2 the batter in a 8" sprayed pan. Layer 1/2 of the crumb topping on top. Another layer of cake batter. Top with remaining topping. Cut through batter to swirl with a butter knife.
Bake 350 for 40-45 minutes.
Best with a cup of coffee on a cold lazy morning! But quite simple if you need a "home baked" treat for when the family stops by, or the bake sale, or the brunch, or anytime!
I've been wanting to try this with the pumpkin, looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious. I have never made any cakes with pumpkid.

I have to admit - those Krusteaz crumb cakes are my favorite!! I actually have one in my pantry, so I'm gonna try this!

ReplyDeleteI love this recipe! I don't know why some people turn their noses up at boxed mixes. I think that they can can be the foundation for some great creations - like this one. Thanks.
