Ingredients

• 1 15.25 Ounces (oz) package yellow cake mix, divided
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 0.5 Cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 15 Ounces (oz) can pumpkin puree
• 0.5 Cups white sugar
• 0.25 Cups brown sugar, packed
• 3 Large eggs, whisked
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 Cups white sugar
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, softened

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. Make the crust: Measure 1 cup of the cake mix into a medium bowl; set aside for the topping. In a large bowl, combine the remaining cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until well combined. Pat the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. Make the pumpkin layer: In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and cinnamon until well combined. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the crust.
4. Make the topping: Add sugar and softened butter to the reserved cake mix and stir until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the pumpkin layer, then scatter walnuts over the top if desired.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
