Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Yellow or Spice Cake Mix
- 15 oz Canned Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable Oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 0.5 cup Optional Mix-ins (chopped nuts, chocolate chips, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, canned pumpkin, vegetable oil, and eggs.
Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the bowl and mix until well combined. The batter will be thick.
If desired, fold in optional mix-ins, such as chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is, or pair with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite spread.
