Tasty Thursday

Every week at the barn we all enjoy what we lovingly refer to as "Tasty Thursday." What is Tasty Thursday, you ask? Well, because we have so many cookbooks with amazing recipes at our fingertips, we decided we wanted to try them all! Now every Thursday someone brings a recipe selected from one of our cookbooks for all to sample. So, to take it a step further, we thought it would be nice to share our recipes with EVERYONE! 

The first cookbook we're featuring is the Ivy Bake Shoppe Cookbook by Martha Wolf. We hope you enjoy this scrumptious fall recipe!

Pumpkin Dessert Bar

2 (15-ounce) cans pumpkin

4 eggs

1 1/3 cups sugar

1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1 yellow cake mix

2 sticks butter, melted

1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Mix the first seven ingredients as you would for pumpkin pie, pouring batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch glass dish. Sprinkle cake mix over the top and then drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with pecans if using. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes. Makes 12 to 15 servings.
