A few weeks ago my cute friend Melissa (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA!!!) posted this recipe on her blog. She said that it was possibly the best dessert she's ever made. Well... I made it for a Halloween party last weekend and I have to say.... she was right! It was divine. I've had a ton of people ask me for the recipe so I thought I'd pass it along here too:
Pumpkin Delight
Grease and flour a 9 x 13 glass dish.
Beat 3 eggs well. Add 1 cup sugar, 15 ounce can pumpkin, 1 large size can evaporated milk (I think it's 10 ounces give or take), 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon allspice) and mix.
Pour into glass dish. Sprinkle the dry contents of 1 box of yellow cake mix over the top. Melt and drizzle 1 1/2 sticks of butter on top of the dry cake mix. Bake about 45 or 50 minutes at 350.
Serve warm with whipped cream, chocolate chips and/or pecans sprinkled on top (I highly recommend the toppings!). Enjoy. A lot. The toppings really are what send this dessert over the top of deliciousness. (Allen will be taking this to his work party on Friday too - it's that good!)
Here's one more of my favorite fall recipes. I make this as breakfast for dinner.
Gingerbread Pancakes & Apple Syrup
Pancakes:
1 1/4 c. buttermilk
2 T. shortening
1/2 c. molasses
1 1/2 c. four
2 eggs, separated, add yolks
1 T. brown sugar
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. soda
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. ginger
1/2 t. cinnamon
Beat whites until stiff. Mix all. Fold in whites.
Apple syrup:
Mix:
1 c. sugar
2 T. cornstarch
1/4 t. cinnamon
1 T. lemon juice
2 C. apple juice
Boil 1 minute. Stir in 1/4 c. butter.
(I usually double the pancake recipe and then freeze the extras. The syrup is SO good over any kind of pancake/waffle and makes a lot)

Thanks! Glad you loved the recipe - it's a good one for sure! I love sharing good recipe finds.
I love this pumpkin treat. It is one of my favorites. I have never put choco chips on it though. I will definatly try the pancakes. They sound awesome. By the way, your family picture is precious. Your three kids are just adorable and you guys just look like the happiest family. I love it, love, margo
Can I just make everything you have ever made? and then be a good cook? You really are a divine. The Divine Miss M.
I'm going to try the pumpkin cake/spectacular topping recipe when the missionaries come for dinner on Halloween. We have an elder from Mongolia who is clueless about Halloween so I'm going to use lots of orange foods in the menu. Haven't decided what they'll be yet. We might just go for my all time favorite fall meal: Meat loaf, baked potatoes, baked butternut squash and brown sugared carrots. Do you think Mongolians eat this? Hope so! I'm going to save the pancake recipe for Christmas time.
