Pumpkin Pudding Cake

"I got this recipe from a friend 30 years ago and it was always a favorite at family get togethers and potlucks. Over the years, through several moves, the recipe was lost. I have tried several similar, but none were quite the same. Well, I just found the original recipe and am posting it here for safe keeping. Enjoy! (I know I will)."

  1. My wife, Janet, does amazing things with Dutch Ovens, and this is one of our family's favorites. It is easy to make on a camping trip, is always a crowd-pleaser, and never fails to get her raves and accolades. I would give it (and her) 6 stars if I could!
     
  2. This is a really great variation on the pumpkin dessert for the winter holidays, or for any other time, for that matter, & easy to put together! Loved the topping! This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thanks so much! [Tagged, made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders cooking game]
     
  3. This cake was a nice change from the ho-hum pumpkin pies at our family Thanksgiving dinner. I goofed slightly in the prep - failed to hold back the 1 cup of cake mix for the topping so I opened a small box of mix (Jiffy brand) and filched what I needed. I also sprinkled some more cinnamon and ginger over the top before baking to give it a little color. My baking time was only 50 minutes but my oven does run hot. We made this the day before so it was well chilled and perfect with whipped cream dollops. Thanks for posting the recipe!

She was expecting her daughter when the photo was taken. The other photo is Jacob & grandma :), both were taken last Saturday (03/29/08) while we were climbing a local butte. Those two little boys did an amazingly good job of hiking the steep trail (so did grandma!). Food is my passion. I love to cook, I love to read recipes, I have hundreds of cookbooks. My favorite cookbook is Recipezaar! Since I joined in 2002 it has become the first place I go when looking for a recipe. Cooking is what I do for fun. I love to travel! Not only do I get to see new places and meet interesting people - I get to try new food. My other passions are my grandkids!!!
