Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake

All right guys and gals. 
I've got a couple of things to tell you about before we talk 
Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake!

First, I am giving away two sets of wonderful kitchen knives. Today is the last day to enter. Interested? Click here for the details. 

Second, I am happy to be participating in the
GE Cafe Appliance Progressive Dinner
I am sharing a great recipe from my archives... 
Candy Corn Sugar Cookies, to be exact. 
  GE Cafe and BlogHer are giving one of my lucky readers

OKAY! Then. 
Let's talk about this Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake.
If you love Pumpkin Pie, but don't want to worry about shaping and making and baking a pie crust...this is the perfect dessert for you. 
The crust is a combination of cake mix, butter and an egg. No shaping required! Just press it into a jelly roll pan, mix up your filling, pour it on top, bake it up and you will be sitting pretty with a Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake dessert divine. 
Want a few more details?
Like a list of the ingredients!
Ok, then. 
Here you are.....



Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake
Time: 15 minutes prep + 60 minutes to bake
Yield: 20 servings
Recipe from my mother in law, Jill Eskelson

Crust:
1 yellow cake mix
1/2 C butter, melted
1 egg

Filling:
1  29 ounce can pumpkin 
1 1/2 C sugar
1 t salt
2 t cinnamon
1 t ginger
1/2 t cloves
4 eggs
2  12 ounce cans evaporated milk
 
 

1. To make the crust, pour the cake mix into your stand mixer, or medium sized mixing bowl. Pour the melted butter over the cake mix and stir it in for about 30 seconds. Add your egg and mix until all ingredients are well combined. 


2. Spray a large jello roll pan (mine is 11 1/2 by 16 1/2) with cooking spray. Press the crust into the pan. 


3. Into a small mixing bowl combine the sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. 


4. Crack the eggs into your stand mixer and beat them for about 1 minute, or until frothy. 


5. Add the sugar mixture



and the pumpkin and mix until combined.



6. Pour in the canned milk and mix until combined. 



7. CAREFULLY pour the filling over the crust. Now. Just a word to the wise here. Your pan will be full. Really full. The kind of full that just might spill over the top while you carry it to the oven, if you aren't careful. I would advise setting the crust as close to the oven as possible, then pour the filling in so you don't have very far to walk. 
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. 
9. Cool completely, then cut into squares and serve with whip cream.

  3. Do you realize that with all of these delicious recipes you are taking up all of my time? I am suppose to take a dessert and rolls to Enrichment tonight so I made pumpkin fudge last night, I am planning on making fluffy dinner rolls and holiday crescent rolls (if I have time) and now this is just screaming to me to make it so I can take it tonight.
    Yesterday I made PB & Chocolate rice krispies for cub scouts. I am enjoying the options to print so I can print off all of these recipes that I want to make and then if I need to I can come look at a step if I don't quite understand. Thank you thank you!! You are making me look so good:)

  7. Hi! This looks scrumptious! BUT is there a cheat to the spices that just uses the pumpkin pie spice instead of all the others??
    Thanks!

  16. Love all your recipes so much! When I need a new recipe I know I can count on you. One question, should leftover cake be kept in refrig?

  17. Anonymous,
    It will stay good left on the counter for a couple of days, but will stay good for about a week if you refrigerate. Glad the recipes have been working out for you!

  18. A bit late to comment, but as an American living in Australia where autumn is beginning, my internal clock keeps telling me Thanksgiving is on its way. I’m optimistic this will satisfy my cravings for apple cider donuts and everything pumpkin.
    Have you tried making this is a smaller pan (say, 9x13) or even in a spring form pan? I can’t find a jelly roll pan here. Any suggestions?

    1. Hi Lauren,
      Wow! I can't imagine autumn just beginning. Sounds like a lot of fun. I haven't ever tried this particular recipe in a 9x13, however I have seen one at our best bites that uses a 9x13. Here is a link.

      Good luck!
