Number Of Ingredients 16

BOTTOM LAYER
1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 c margarine, melted (or use butter if you must)
1 egg
FILLING
1 lb solid pack pumpkin (canned is fine)
2/3 c milk (almond, soy or regular)
2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spices/or your own mix
1 tsp allspice
1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
TOPPING
1 c reserved cake mix
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c butter or margarine

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of 9x13 Pan (Brownie pan works well)
2. Reserve 1 Cup cake mix for topping. Combine remaining cake mix with butter/margarine and egg. Press into pan.
3. Combine all filling ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour over crust.
4. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over filling.
5. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. (you can also test making sure it's not wiggly anymore.
6. Let cool and refrigerate. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping, or just by itself.
7. NOTE FOR LACTOSE INTOLERANT PEOPLE: If made with margarine, almond/rice soy milk it's a great lactose free dessert, for those lactose intolerant people like me. :-) ---Even though no lactose in butter, one of the healthy margarine works great.
