Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce box of spice cake mix
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, eggs, and pumpkin puree. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is thick and smooth.
- Transfer Batter to Pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
- Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a cake tester or toothpick; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
- Cool and Frost: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, optionally top the cake with your favorite grocery store-bought frosting or homemade frosting of choice.
Notes
- The batter will be very thick, so mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
- Using store-bought frosting is a convenient option for topping the cake.
- Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Optional: Line the greased baking dish with parchment paper to help easily remove the cake after baking.
- Do not follow the baking directions on the cake mix box; only use the provided ingredients and instructions for best results.
