(Note: 1. Yes, you bake it with the wax paper in the baking dish. 2. Yes, you DO put pumpkin mix, cake mix, pecans and melted oleo in 4 individual layers.

1 large can pumpkin
1 lg.can evaporated milk
1 cup of sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 box white or yellow cake mix (I prefer yellow)
1 cup of chopped pecans
1 cup of melted Oleo
First Layer: Mix pumpkin, milk, sugar, eggs and cinnamin together and put in a 9X13 pan lined with WAX paper.
Second Layer: Sprinkle one white or yellow cake mix (dry) over the
pumpkin mixture.
Third Layer: Gently pat in 1 cup of chopped pecans and then
Fourth Layer: pour 1 cup of melted oleo on top of the nuts.
Bake at 350 for 50 to 60 min.
Stick a table knife into the middle
of the cake and if it comes out clean it is done. Like you
check a pumpkin pie. Take out of oven and let sit in pan
for 15 mins. to cool. Then turn pan upside down on a
cookie sheet and let cool again.You will peel off the
wax paper. It is delicious without anything on it
but if you want you can use below. It is very rich so
just serve small servings.
When cool you can serve it with cool whip or frost it with the following.
Mix 1 pkg. cream cheese, 8 oz. cool whip and 1/2 cup confectioner sugar and spread on top.
(I prefer doing this because it adds Calories and Friends)
