Ingredients
Method
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.

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

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