The Easiest Pumpkin Pie Cake Ever is the perfect dessert for Thanksgiving. It is easy (as the name implies) and is sure to become a family favorite.
It is called pie cake because it is kinda like pie on the bottom and cake on the top. We really like pie and cake at our house so why not combine the two? See?!↓
Are you the DIY or the DIFM (Do-It-For-Me) type? I am both and I frequently combine the two. Take this recipe for example. I combine ready-made canned pumpkin pie mix with boxed yellow cake mix to make this sort of cross between cake and pie. This is a combination of DIY and DIFM.

When deciding what to put on this pie/cake creation I decided to take the DIFM approach and top it with Hiland® Ice Cream. It just seemed like a great idea because cake and pie are always better topped with ice cream. Not only that but we can choose our favorite flavor of Hiland Ice Cream, giving this dessert our own personal flair.
My husband especially liked this idea because he could top The Easiest Pumpkin Pie Cake Ever with his all-time favorite ice cream, Hiland Butter Brickle. I chose to go with classic vanilla. While I do love other flavor combos vanilla is a favorite of mine, and I think it goes with pumpkin very well. Although I have to agree that pumpkin and toffee are a match made in heaven.
So a little bit about The Easiest Pumpkin Pie Cake Ever.
With just four ingredients this dessert is so easy to make. Another thing I really like about it is that I just need a large bowl and a spoon to mix the batter together. You could use your hand mixer or even your stand mixer but sometimes I’m all about less dirty dishes. It also makes it easy for new cooks or even the kids to make.

It’s in my oven right now!! I think I will make a cream cheese frosting for the top.
Cream cheese frosting sounds delicious!
This looks so simple, and yet so amazing! You can’t go wrong with yellow cake mix, pumpkin and butter! This is something I am going to make as soon as “pumpkin season” begins! Thank you for sharing.
I checked out your website and oh my! I’m going to have to do some shopping. Thanks for stopping by.
Nevermind, I found it.
Glad you found it!
What is pumpkin pie mix? I’m assuming you meant pumpkin and not pimpkin. Either way, what is this?
Easy peasy and it looks so darn delicious too!
That’s our favorite way, easy! Thanks Angie
