Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 18

Ingredients
  

  • cups water
  • 1 can pureed pumpkin 15 oz
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbs vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 box yellow cake mix 18 oz
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup brown sugar divided
  • ½ cup flour
  • 4 Tbs butter melted
  • ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the water, pumpkin, eggs, 1 Tablespoon of vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice, until well combined.
  3. Add the cake mix and baking soda and mix until just combined.
  4. Grease a 9×13 pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray, and pour batter into pan.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, flour and melted butter. Use your fingers to sprinkle over the top of the cake.
  6. Bake cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, start preparing your glaze.
  8. Combine the other 1/2 cup brown sugar, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and heavy cream in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  9. Remove from heat and stir until all sugar is dissolved. This shouldn't take very long.
  10. When cake is finished baking, poke holes in the top with a toothpick. Pour glaze over the cake. It should seep into the holes and make for a nice sticky, sweet topping.
  11. Serve cake warm or at room temperature.
