Our church has an annual Thanksgiving Dinner Potluck the Sunday before Thanksgiving. One year we catered a more elegant dinner for the whole church instead. This elegant, memorable Pumpkin Cake Dessert was served and I never forgot it. I finally obtained the recipe this year and discovered it is very easy. I hope you will try it!

MArilyn, I have used this pumpkin pie cake dessert recipe for over a year now. I know it as pumpkin crisp or cobbler. My husband is the one that told me about it as he had tried some at work. It is so easy, delicious and you can change items and make it a little different if you want. I have used as little as 1/2 c. butter and 1/2 c. chopped nuts (whatever I had on hand) as well as using a white cake mix instead of yellow. How ever you make it it is always delicious!!

Hi Marilyn.
I made this dessert and it was awesome, Loved it. It will for sure be on our table now, I plan to make it ever chance I get, I made a whipped topping to do over it , instead of Cool whip (which is okay) to use and it was almost to die for. Thanks again. very moist
