October is the month for pumpkins and carving jack-o-lanterns. It's also the time for Halloween parties, treats, and scary stories. Today I am sharing an easy pumpkin recipe for you to serve at your next Halloween get-together. 



Pumpkin Dump Cake

1 29 oz. can pure pumpkin (or use your fresh pumpkin from the garden)
1 12 oz can evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. cinnamon
1 box yellow cake mix
1 c. chopped pecans (or walnuts)
3/4 c. melted margarine

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix first 6 ingredients until well blended. Pour batter into 9x13 greased pan.

Sprinkle cake mix on top, then cover with pecans. Pour melted margarine over top.

Bake 50 minutes.

So now you have your treat for Halloween. May I also suggest a scary story? Sunshine Boulevard  is a frightening story for this spooky month of fun.

Wow, does that sound good! Maybe you should call it Dumpkin Cake. Don't care about the title, if its good, and this one will be I'm sure. Sadly, I'm off desserts forever.
Well, it seems like forever. I've lost 35 pounds and have that much to go yet. Sad to miss out on treats such as yours, but glad I'm lighter now. Cheers,
PD
