Directions: |
Directions:Lightly spray bottom of 13x9- inch pan, then line the bottom of the pan with a piece of wax paper to fit.
Mix pumpkin, eggs, sugar, spice and cream until well blended. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle with dry cake mix (completely cover the pumpkin). Sprinkle the nuts. Gently push them in the dry cake mix just a little (do not mix them in the pumpkin). Spoon the melted butter all over the top of the cake (co not mix it in; it will absorb in). Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Remove to rack. Cool about 20 minutes, then invert on cookie sheet (or same size pan, if possible). Peel off the wax paper, then cool cake completely. Place in fridge until cold. (At this point you may frost or leave until next day to frost if you wish to make cake ahead of time).
Frosting: Mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and a touch of vanilla until smooth and well blended, then fold in Cool Whip. Spread on top of cake. Sprinkle with nuts.
Cover loosely with Saran Wrap or pan lid. Put in fridge until ready to serve. (Will stay fresh 1 week in the refrigerator.) Hope you enjoy! |

Notes: Here's my famous pumpkin cake! I didn't like Pumpkin pie, but a friend of mine said " You'll love this one!" She was right! It's good enough to eat for breakfast, too! Everywhere I take it, it gets great raves and they always ask me for the recipe!
My own family always requests this to be brought to our family gatherings on Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!
