    List of Ingredients




    1 package plain yellow cake mix -- (18.25 ounces)
    8 tablespoons butter or margarine (1 stick) -- at room temperature
    4 large eggs
    2 cans pumpkin -- (15 ounces each)
    1 can evaporated milk -- (5 ounces)
    1 1/4 cups sugar
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    4 tablespoons butter or margarine (1/2 stick) -- chilled
    1 cup chopped pecans
    Whipped cream for garnish

    Recipe



    Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly
    grease a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with solid vegetable shortening, then dust
    with flour. Shake out the excess flour. Set the pan aside.

    Measure out 1 cup of the cake mix and reserve for the topping. Place the
    remaining cake mix, the butter, and 1 egg in a large mixing bowl. Blend with
    an electric mixer on low speed until well combined, 1 minute. Using your
    fingertips, press the batter over the bottom of the prepared pan so that it
    reaches the sides of the pan. Set the pan aside.

    For the filling, place the pumpkin, evaporated milk, 1 cup sugar, remaining 3
    eggs, and cinnamon in the same large mixing bowl used to prepare the batter
    and with the same beaters (no need to clean either), blend on low speed until
    combined, 30 seconds. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the
    mixture lightens in color and texture, 1 to 2 minutes more. Pour the filling
    over the crust in the pan, spreading to the sides of the pan with a rubber
    spatula. Set the pan aside.

    For the topping, place the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the chilled butter, and
    the reserved cake mix in a clean medium-size mixing bowl. Rinse and dry the
    beaters. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined and
    crumbly, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stop the machine and stir in the pecans. Use
    your fingers to thoroughly knead the pecans into the topping mixture.
    Distribute the topping evenly over the filling mixture. Place the pan in the
    oven.

    Bake the cake until the center no longer jiggles when you shake the pan and
    the pecans on top have browned, 70 to 75 minutes. Remove the pan from the
    oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack, 20 minutes.

    Cut the cake into squares and serve with whipped cream on top.

    Yield: 18 - 20 servings.

    Store covered in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to
    1 week.
