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!

Perfect! This looks delicious!! I was needing a pumpkin dessert recipe to take to our church Thanksgiving. Thanks for posting this and I can’t wait to try it.
C.R.-Its quick and delicious!
I 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.

I have some pumpkin in the freezer that this would be perfect for!
Looks delicious & I would love to try it. How much pumpkin do I put in?
