Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Angel food cake mix
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your angel food cake pan is clean and grease-free to allow the cake to rise properly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix, canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and water. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients on low speed until fully combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch angel food cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
Remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a heat-safe surface to cool. Allow the cake to cool completely upside-down to maintain its light and airy texture.
Once cooled, carefully run a knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Gently remove it from the pan.
For an optional decorative touch, lightly dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy this delicious, low-fat dessert as is, or pair it with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped topping for added flavor!
