Layered Pumpkin Dessert with Yellow Cake Mix: A few tips

If made ahead and refrigerated: warm for a few seconds in the microwave and it tastes like it just came out of the oven.

I didn’t use all of the cake mix.

There was probably about 1/2 c. left in the bowl when I decided there was enough!

A little bit of this goes a long way because it’s rich and filling. Small pieces can be served which means you can feed a crowd.

Versions of this dessert have been roaming around Pinterest for a long time. I think there’s one that calls for pouring melted butter over the cake mix. I don’t know if I could bring myself to do that. In this version the topping is more like a streusel and the walnuts were my idea. I think they add the finishing touch.
