Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This cake is a breeze to make, requiring minimal ingredients and effort. It’s perfect for those spontaneous baking moments when you want something homemade and comforting. Plus, the rich pumpkin flavor combined with warm spices makes it irresistibly good.

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or spoon
• Cake pan
• Oven

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 box Spice Cake Mix
• 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin
• 2 eggs

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the Spice Cake Mix, pumpkin, and eggs. Mix until well blended. The batter will be thick, resembling a loaf batter rather than a traditional cake batter.
3. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Start checking for doneness around 20 minutes to prevent overbaking. Your cake is ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Let the cake cool before frosting or glazing.

Tips for Success

• For a richer texture, don’t skip the eggs. However, if you’re avoiding eggs, you can still make the cake without them.
• Start checking the cake around the 20-minute mark to ensure it doesn’t overbake.

Additional Tips and Variations

While frosting is optional, it does add an extra layer of indulgence. I recommend using a can of cream cheese frosting for convenience. Alternatively, you can make a quick glaze by whisking together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This glaze pairs beautifully with the cake’s flavors.

Nutritional Highlights (Per Serving)

This cake offers a delightful treat with the comforting flavors of pumpkin and spice. The nutritional content will vary based on portion size and any additional toppings or frostings used.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make this cake without eggs? Yes, the cake can be made without eggs, though the texture will be slightly different.

What can I use instead of cream cheese frosting? The simple glaze mentioned above is a great alternative, or you can enjoy the cake plain.
