PUMPKIN PIE CAKE

This cake is, by far, MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE PUMPKIN DESSERT EVER!!!  There is just something about it that is so comforting.  It has the perfect textures and combination of spices.  Oh and don't forget the amazing streusel topping.  I love sitting down on a cold day and eating a warm piece of this cake with a little Cool Whip on top.  Pure heaven!  I always eat this cake warm, just zap it in the microwave for 15 seconds or so, top with Cool Whip or whipping cream and enjoy.

  5. MUST add pecan pieces before you pour the melted butter over all!!!!! all the difference in the world! and NO OLEO...butter is best...I use the olive oil butter. And 3 t. pumpkin pie spice instead of the other stuff...it's heavenly with Cinnamon Cool Whip or REAL whip cream (preferably). Yes, this is a stable in our house during the holidays...so easy and so good.
