THREE-INGREDIENT PUMPKIN SPICE CAKE RECIPE

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 box Spice Cake Mix
1 can 15-oz pumpkin
2 eggs

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350° F. Get ready, this next part is tricky. Mix the ingredients. (I hope you can handle that.)

Now some variations of the recipe I found suggest you don’t need the eggs, but I decided to add them. (Given the yummy end result, I recommend you add them, but if you don’t eat eggs, know you could proceed with the recipe without ’em!)

You are going to get a thick batter. It’s going to almost feel more like you’re mixing a loaf of pumpkin bread than cake. Don’t worry! You’re on the right track. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until done. I like to start checking my cake at about 20 minutes to avoid over cooking. My cake took that entire 30 minutes until it was done.

Here’s my completed cake! It smelled heavenly.

Now, what about the frosting? Of course, you don’t have to have frosting. (Oh wait, yes, you do!)

Since this recipe is all about keeping things quick and simple, I just used a can of cream cheese frosting. However, I have a super delicious and quick 3-ingredient glaze recipe that I’ve used on this cake before. (Just take 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla and whisk until mixed. For more detailed instructions, it’s the same glaze recipe I used on my Starbucks Pumpkin Scone Knock-off Recipe as well as my Starbucks Cinnamon Scone Recipe.)

Here’s my completed cake! All told, I spent about $5 on this entire recipe, including the frosting. It’s a good one to make during the fall, or anytime of year you’re craving pumpkin!
