INGREDIENTS

  • 1½ cups flour (whole wheat or all purpose)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ cup + 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed, divided
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • pinch of cloves
  • ¾ cup pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling!)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1¼ cup hot or boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons butter


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9" pie plate or baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, ¾ cup brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves with a spoon.
  3. Add in pumpkin, milk, oil and vanilla and stir until a thick batter forms. Spread evenly into prepared pie plate.
  4. In a small bowl, stir together 1 cup brown sugar and corn starch until there are no clumps. Sprinkle over cake batter.
  5. Add butter to hot water and stir until melted. Pour over brown sugar mixture in pan.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until top is completely set (keep in mind that there is a thick layer of caramel sauce in the bottom, so it may jiggle). Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  7. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheat perfectly!
