Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box spice cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Optionally, line the dish with parchment paper on top of the spray to help lift the cake out more easily after baking.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, eggs, and pumpkin puree. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and form a thick batter.
- Bake the cake: Pour the thick batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and frost: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, top the cake with store-bought frosting or your favorite frosting of choice before serving.
Notes
- The cake batter will be very thick, thicker than typical cake batters.
- Using store-bought frosting helps save time and adds an easy finishing touch.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- For easier removal of the cake from the pan, place parchment paper over nonstick cooking spray before adding batter.
- Do NOT follow the instructions on the spice cake mix box; only use the ingredients and directions provided here for best results.
