Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by spraying it generously with non-stick spray.
  2. Sift the yellow cake mix into a bowl, reserving 2/3 cup for the crumb topping. Combine this reserved mix with brown sugar and melted butter until crumbly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whip the large eggs until lightened in color. Add vanilla extract and canned pumpkin puree, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the remaining yellow cake mix and pumpkin pie spice into the egg mixture until just blended.
  5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the crumb mixture generously over the top of the batter.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
