It's a pumpkin dump cake! I used a cinnamon streusel quick bread mix instead of regular cake mix, and it is divine! You could also dot pieces of cut butter on the top instead of melting and trying to drizzle it evenly (mine pooled). I used 2 cups of homemade pumpkin pie filling (without any eggs or milk), then added in the eggs and can of condensed milk, spread the mix and streusel topping, and then half a cup of butter (which was enough but would have been alright with more). Nice!

This recipe turned out delicious! I had to bring a quick dessert for a potluck and was worried for trying out a new thing last minute. It was easy and fantastic though. I used Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake instead of yellow cake. I bought pumpkin instead of the filling, so I just added 3/4 cup of sugar, a pinch of salt and some extra cinnamon. I followed the rest of the directions. Was perfectly crumbly on top, just hard enough on the bottom to make plating simple. Would definitely make again!

I was afraid it would be too sweet, even with cream cheese added in, but the saltiness (from the butter?) takes the edge off. I used half butter, half oil. I softened the cream cheese, but it still didn't dissipate as much as I would have liked; still it was a rich and decadent addition. I also sprinkled pecan pcs on top. I didn't have yellow cake mix, but butter pecan did a good job.

This fills the pumpkin requirement for a dessert. It seems like it would taste strange with the cake mix sprinkled on the top, but it was delicious! I was told that it should be served as a sweet treat bar at a coffee shop. The texture is a little thicker than pumpkin pie on the bottom, and hard and crumbly on top - like a coffee cake but a little more solid. I will make this again! OH and I like the suggestion of adding in cream cheese to the pumpkin part, and trying it with spice cake - could be really good.

I thought the method for this was strange (sprinkling dry mix and then dumping some melted butter on it). But, I think it came out as expected. It turned out to be like eating dessert bars - a very rich and condensed pumpkin pie dessert bar. Everyone thought it was good. If I make again then I might try to add some milk and egg, etc. to the cake mix because I think some cake might be nice with this instead of some sugary crust.
