Ingredients

  

• 1 box of white cake mix
• 15 oz. can of pure pumpkin
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup of sugar
• 3 tbsp of cinnamon
• 1.5 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsalted butter Sliced and cold

Instructions

 

Step 1: Preparing the Oven and Baking Dish

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius).
• Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray, ensuring even coverage.

Step 2: Mixing Pumpkin and Cake Mix

• In a mixing bowl, combine the contents of the white cake mix box and the 15 oz. can of pure pumpkin.
• Stir the mixture until it reaches a thick and well-combined consistency.

Step 3: Baking the Base

• Transfer the pumpkin and cake mix mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• Spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 325 F for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 4: Crafting the Crumb Topping

• While the base is baking, prepare the crumb topping.
• In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, sliced cold butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
• Use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the mixture until pea-sized crumbly balls form.

Step 5: Applying the Crumb Topping

• Once the base is fully baked, allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
• Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cooled base.

Step 6: Final Baking and Enjoying

• Place the baking dish back into the oven at 325 F for an additional 10-15 minutes.
• The crumb topping should turn golden brown and crisp during this final baking step.
• Once done, remove the Pumpkin Crumb Cake from the oven and let it cool slightly.
• Slice the cake into delicious servings and savor the delightful blend of flavors and textures.

Notes

• For a more pronounced pumpkin flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cake mix.

• If you prefer a lighter crumb topping, use a fork to gently mix the topping ingredients instead of forming pea-sized balls.

• Serve the Pumpkin Crumb Cake warm for an extra comforting experience.
