Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces Spice cake mix
- 15 ounces Pumpkin puree
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and water.
Add the ground cinnamon and, if desired, the ground nutmeg. Mix well until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula if needed.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Optional: Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for added sweetness and a decorative touch.
Slice into 12 pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
