Pumpkin Pie in a Cake

Pumpkin Pie in a Cake

Grease a 13x9 pan.

Preheat your oven to 350.

“crust”:

1 box of yellow cake mix

1 stick of butter, room temperature

1 egg

Set aside 1 Cup of yellow cake mix for use later.  Beat the rest of the cake mix, the butter and egg in a medium mixing bowl.  When well combined, press the batter into the prepared pan for a “crust”.

Filling:

1 30 oz. can of pumpkin pie filling *

1 15 oz. can of evaporated milk **

1 C. sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp cinnamon ***

Beat the above ingredients together until the mixture lightens in color and texture.  Pour this into the pan on top of the crust. ****

Topping:

1/4 C sugar

1/2 stick chilled butter

1 C reserved cake mix

1 C chopped pecans

Beat everything except the pecans in a medium bowl.  When it is combined and crumbly, add in the pecans and mix with a spoon.  Spread this evenly over the filling.

Bake this in the oven for 75 minutes or so.  The cake should look very moist, but shouldn’t “jiggle” when it’s moved.  Let the cake cool.  Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Fall has arrived at the Coffey Grounds

One of my favorite times of the year is FALL!
Not only because of the cooler weather but it seems like life gets happy.  With lots of birthdays & holiday celebrations coming up let the fun begin.
Happy Fall everyone!

Our family

Yet another Peach cobbler!

Peach-Pecan Cobbler~ A Country Home Recipe    

3/4  cup granulated sugar

    1 Tbsp.  Cornstarch

    1/2  tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4  cup water

4 1/2  cups sliced peaches (I do not peel mine)

approx. 11/2 -2 lb. of peaches

Rolls

1 cup of self-rising flour

(if you do not have self rising flour add 1tsp. baking

powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp. of baking soda to 

 flour)

    1 Tsp. granulated sugar

    1/4 cup of butter

1/3 cup of buttermilk

Filling for the Rolls

2 Tbsp. butter, melted

    2 Tbsp. brown sugar

    1/2 cup of chopped pecans

Peach Filling instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch, and cinnamon; stir in the water.  Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.   Add peaches; return to boiling.  Cover and keep warm over very low heat.

Pecan Rolls instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and the teaspoon of sugar.  Using a pastry blender, cut the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Add buttermilk and stir until just moistened.  Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes.  Roll into a 9 x 6 inch rectangle.  (just like you are making cinnamon rolls.  Combine the melter butter and brown sugar; spread over dough to within 1/2 inch of the edge.  Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly on the dough surface.  Roll up dough in a spiral, starting with a short side. Cut the roll cross-wise into six 1-inch thick slices. Pour hot peach mixture into and ungreased 2 quart square (8x8x2-inch) baking dish.  Or you can use a pie dish like I did.  Bake in a 400 degree oven about 25 minutes or until golden brown.  You have to really watch the last five minutes, because the rolls turn brown fast.  

*I doubled the peach filling ingredients and tripled the pecan rolls to make a 9x13 size. I also peeled my peaches.

Definitely not as pretty as hers but for sure the only way I'll ever make peach cobbler for now on!

Thanks Shelly for sharing this recipe.  It's on my list to make this week.
